Mr. Chair, there are two aspects there. First of all, radiation protection of people--the staff, the people in communities, the general public, in clinics--is the responsibility of the CNSC, and the CNSC has expert staff who are part of international organizations. The International Commission on Radiological Protection gets involved in this quite often. So there is now a broader community available for radiation protection advice.
In terms of advice on supply of radioisotopes, that was not the mandate of the CNSC. We would have assumed that whoever was responsible--Health Canada or the provinces--would themselves have sought that expert advice and not the commission.
