We need to keep it independent. It should be independent of the regulators, those who are sitting on panels, when it gets to panels. They should be seen as neutral, and not be people who are associated with the industry they're assessing.
What I didn't get to say earlier was that when I appeared at the hearing for the nuclear plant at Darlington, sitting in front of me as the assessors were a nuclear engineer who had spent his life working for AECL and the Atomic Energy Control Board, and a former government minister who was responsible for and strongly supportive of nuclear power.
That was two-thirds of the panel. I don't think they made any improper decisions, but that sure gives the impression to the public that this is a fixed thing.
We need to have a system that's independent.
