I'm sorry, I didn't catch the name of the member of Parliament who made the comment earlier.
Listening to Dr. Gulenchyn, I'd love to work with her. We would respect each other a lot in practice.
I wouldn't want to leave the impression that British Columbians are not concerned about the rest of the country. After all, I did my rotating internship in Nova Scotia, but I've also worked, at least briefly, in some of the smallest and most remote places in Canada, including some of the most remote sites in British Columbia, and one learns in that that there are various ways to get around a problem.
Also, in a hospital like the one I worked at, at the University of British Columbia, where there isn't much in the way of radiologic services on weekends or nights, one learns alternate ways. I think Dr. Gulenchyn has made that clear, that a relatively small fraction of nuclear medicine studies would be urgent under any circumstances and that nuclear medicines or radioisotopes are seldom used, if ever, for urgent therapy.
From the public perspective, the kind of thing that would reassure Canadians like me, as a hopefully literate, intelligent citizen, would be for your committee to help get the facts out. I was thinking to myself about how one would really know whether Parliament ought to have sat in the middle of the night, or whether that was a very dangerous precedent that threatened the essence of a good working democracy, which is more the way I saw it.
I'm not saying the reactor ought not to have been reopened within a timely way--
