Okay. I appreciate that.
I'll now go to the nuclear group.
I have to tell you this, and I have to be frank with my colleagues. I actually worked at the Bruce nuclear station as a summer student for three years. My father worked there at the heavy water plant. My brother-in-law works at Bruce nuclear. My sister works at Bruce nuclear. Let's just say I'm pro-nuclear.
I was there when Douglas Point was decommissioned. It was exciting for students to be in there mopping up water, but I wasn't sure what it was.
The question I have for you is really twofold.
One, we've basically heard this from everybody, other than the engineering group, which we completely understand. Michael was in my office talking to me about the issues. In general, there's a view that the sale either in part or in whole is something that might be needed. That came directly from the AECL and from the supplier group.
This is a question about timing. We put this in Bill C-9 to be able to move on it. What would happen to our nuclear industry if we continued to drag our feet and not make a decision on this? Is the world getting ahead of us on this?
I'll ask Hugh to answer. Perhaps Mr. Hughes, from Laker, can then also answer from the supplier side, if he wishes.
