Excuse me for interrupting you, sir. You have stated on separate occasions that you had proof that had you not brought the reactor back on line, the Commission would have ordered you to do so. I have yet to see the proof to that effect. I don't know if you can supply that evidence to the committee, but it would be interesting to see it.
What concerns me, Mr. McGee, is that in your initial report to the House of Commons, you accepted a fair bit of the blame for the situation. You stated that among other things, the problems stems from a breakdown within your organization in terms of efficiency and reviewing the safety analysis report. You admit that there was a problem. The surprising thing is that when he testified here, the Minister of Natural Resources didn't even reprimand your organization once, either for its lack of organization or for its efficiency problems. You spoke of these problems several times in the course of various meetings, as the reports attest to. I have to wonder why the minister said nothing. I wondered if the minister would have been able to fire someone at Atomic Energy of Canada instead of Ms. Keen. Perhaps the reason was the dearth of leaders at Atomic Energy of Canada. There was no longer any CEO or chairman of the board of directors. You, the Vice Chairman, found yourself managing the crisis along with your colleagues, with no senior managers to be found. Do you think that explains why the minister did not point the finger at you, even though you acknowledged your organization's shortcomings?
