It was a statement to help you understand where we're coming from here. You seem to have completely dismissed that, and the legislation doesn't specifically exclude what you're specifically excluding.
I also want to ask why you didn't use your subsection 47(1) emergency powers, specifically in light of section 7, where it says:
The Commission may, in accordance with the regulations, exempt any activity, person, class of person or quantity of a nuclear substance, temporarily or permanently, from the application of this Act or the regulations or any provision thereof.
Section 7 is part of your powers. Subsection 47(1) of the act states, “Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, in case of emergency”--and I think we would agree that this was an emergency--“the Commission may, without conducting any proceedings, make any order that it considers necessary to protect the environment or the health and safety of persons or to maintain national security and compliance with Canada’s international obligations.” The “health and safety of persons” is what I'm onto there.
