Let me reply to that by saying that I think Minister Lunn has made it absolutely clear that he was not advised until December 3. Indeed,what was happening between November 22 and December 3 was a disagreement among the licensing agency, the safety commission, and AECL. The AECL's communications to Minister Lunn continued to be that they expected to be on line very quickly, and that only changed at the beginning of December, when it was clear that the unscheduled shutdown was going to continue for some time.
So when you look at this, it's not as if everybody knew on November 22 that the reactor was going to be shut down for one month, two months, or three months. That, in fact, was not the case. In fact, the people who ran the reactor indicated to all concerned that they expected to be on line very quickly.
As I said, it was only at the beginning of December—and in my case, and my department's case, December 5—that we were aware we were in a situation where the licence-granting agency was not going to be granting a licence for some time to come.
