Good morning, everyone.
Under Standing Order 108(2), we are continuing our study of nuclear safety issues, including safety issues at the Chalk River nuclear reactor.
We have four witnesses before the committee today. We have with us, from the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility, Gordon Edwards, president. We have, from Hamilton Health Sciences and St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, Karen Gulenchyn, medical chief, Department of Nuclear Medicine. We have, from Atomic Energy of Canada, Brian McGee, senior vice-president and chief nuclear officer. And we have by videoconference, joining us at noon from the University of British Columbia, Dr. Thomas Perry, Department of Medicine and Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology and Therapeutics. He will just come in and give his five- to seven-minute presentation at that time. Because that witness was requested by the New Democratic Party, I'll have the New Democratic member, Ms. Bell, question that witness first. She can, of course, direct her questions to anyone else if she so chooses.
Let's get right to it. There will be five- to seven-minute presentations. I ask the presenters to stick to that. We will follow the order of speakers on the orders of the day, starting with Mr. Gordon Edwards, president, Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility.
Go ahead, sir.
