I think this bill is incredibly important, and I look forward to the committee's discussion on the matter. In fact, it's so key that it is clear that when certain companies consider actually bidding on building reactors in Canada, they look to make sure there is a nuclear liability act in place so that they have their protections and at least a written establishment of the compensation and civil liability to address damages resulting from radiation in the unlikely event of a radioactive release from a Canadian nuclear installation. That's what the act goes to. Indeed, the bill increases the liability limit of operators to $650 million from $75 million. More importantly, it gives a clear and comprehensive definition of the kind of nuclear damage that can be compensated for.
In terms of an entire package, it is good to modernize this act in order to bring our civil liability regime up to international standards, which may allow us to attract international interest in terms of the global supply of medical isotopes. We're in the process now of exploring different ways in which to produce medical isotopes, and we encourage all kinds of options. That's one thing the expert review panel will be looking at.
