Thank you, Mr. Chair.
We undertook a process whereby we asked the minister questions, listened to his version of the facts, and heard from the person who accompanied him. We are disappointed at not having heard from Ms. Keen. I think that members of the committee should hear from and question the three principal players in this medical isotope crisis. We do not perhaps have to get into an elaborate study involving a long list of witnesses, but we should at least hear from the main players who were on the front line during this crisis.
Mr. Chair, we have heard from the minister. I would like Ms. Keen to come and testify, as well as the senior Atomic Energy of Canada official who resigned. I would also like to hear from the Auditor General about any shortcomings connected with the Chalk River laboratory
After hearing from those four main players, the committee can decide if it wants to do a longer and more detailed study involving more witnesses. In any event, we first have to hear the various versions in order to be fair and equitable to all. The minister, Atomic Energy of Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission clearly disagree on how this crisis should be interpreted.
First let us shed light on the questions we have. As a committee, we will then be able to decide if we want to formally study the matter more completely. I move that we meet next week.
