Industry committee I wouldn't say there are any that prevent it. Our nuclear regulator here in Canada, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, is a world-class regulator. They do an excellent job of maintaining the safety of the nuclear system. We are very closely watching the Impact Assessment Ac

Industry committee In the context of this bill, it was mentioned as a new source simply because nuclear power doesn't exist in the Prairies as yet, but Canada has a long history of producing nuclear energy. It has close to seven decades of being in the nuclear energy business. I believe we were the

Natural Resources committee Certainly. Our major Asian markets would be South Korea, Japan and China, and I would say probably in the neighbourhood of 25% of our sales go into those markets.

Natural Resources committee First, thank you for your kind words about Cameco. I admit that question is not in my field of expertise. I would not want to mislead the committee.
