Natural Resources committee  Thanks, Mr. Chair. To take a step back, nuclear is very likely to be a pretty critical aspect of our energy mix as we are looking at an increase of demands on our electrical grid, perhaps two to three times the current demands by 2050. The government has taken a series of steps

Natural Resources committee  I'm sorry. I don't have those numbers handy, but we could provide that to you in writing.

Natural Resources committee  Thanks, Mr. Chair. We certainly see huge opportunities to advance economic reconciliation through natural resources.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. It will be in the fall.

Public Accounts committee  I'll turn to my colleague, Mr. Brown, on some of the details, but we certainly were very grateful for the advice that was provided by the task force and have taken note of the 10 recommendations that were contained in that.

Public Accounts committee  I'm not sure I understand the premise of the question. We have been pursuing a policy that is being elaborated over time. I am accountable for the actions of the department, and the department is now pursuing its strategies with respect to just transition and with respect to the

Public Accounts committee  I'll start, Mr. Chair. We have a committee structure now that derives from a deputy minister's implementation committee that relates to climate. At both the director general and the director level, we now have a governance structure within the government. I'd also note that as
