Mr. Chair, I probably should seek to clarify.
The hospitals that were phoning us were all licensees of ours. Their licence could have specified a certain isotope, and in one case there was a company that wanted to import generators, etc. What they would be doing is phoning us saying that their licence specifies X and what they wanted to do was switch to Y, and they were asking, do you agree? And of course we move very quickly for that.
We were not involved at all in the discussion about where the isotopes supply was coming from. In fact, I wasn't aware that there were surveys going on or anything of the type, and we weren't involved, because it wasn't our responsibility to do this.
But you'll note in the transcript of the December 6 meeting that one of the commission members, Dr. Barnes, actually gave the senior vice-president an opportunity to talk about isotopes and supply in the issue, and he didn't really discuss it very much. That's in the transcripts.
But this wasn't among our responsibilities.
