Thank you.
Minister, in this matter, the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission did its work by demanding that the reactor, which had been shut down for routine maintenance, not be restarted before the work was done. If a guilty party had to be found, one would have to look in the direction of Atomic Energy Canada, whose president, who was one of your supporters and was appointed by your government, did in fact resign at the end of the year.
Why did you let the situation deteriorate by allowing Atomic Energy Canada to operate the plant for a number of months without insisting that the work required by the commission be carried out?
