Mr. Sarai, Dave Naylor with the Western Standard.
00:00:02.960
You have held some policies that Westerners haven't liked.
00:00:06.600
Long gun registry, the carbon tax, your work with the Chinese Huawei group when they were holding prisoners.
00:00:15.080
How are you going to overcome those obstacles in the West?
00:00:21.440
And, you know, what we did in Huawei, I'm very proud of what we did in helping to sort out the situation of Ms. Meng Wanzhou.

00:01:26.620
Carbon capture and storage, blue hydrogen, green hydrogen, small modular reactors.
00:01:36.100
I mean, those are the things that we need to be smart about.
00:01:38.660
And I'm very committed to designing a policy that is going to be good and will deal with transition.
00:01:48.680
The European Commission just announced their transition energy policy.
00:01:53.440
And in their transition, they're including nuclear and natural gas.
00:01:58.380
And they're doing it for a reason, because it makes sense.
