Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you, Minister, for coming. It's nice to have you here today on what is certainly an important issue. In fact, we've heard some of the leading medical experts in Canada refer to the situation as a catastrophe.
I had a meeting a few weeks ago, in fact, before this happened, with some nuclear medicine people from Halifax, Dr. Andrew Ross, for example, who were very concerned about what might happen if this sort of thing were to occur with future supply. That was even before this occurred. And you have said in your comments today that you are very concerned about the situation.
I guess in view of that, my first question is that given that we're obviously going to be hearing from some expert witnesses in the field, people from AECL and so forth, and in view of the importance of this matter, are you willing to make time in your schedule to come back again after we hear from those witnesses?
