Good afternoon, everyone.
We're here today to continue our study, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), of the Atomic Energy of Canada Limited facility at Chalk River and the status of the production of medical isotopes.
We have two groups of witnesses today. The first will go from 3:30 to about 4:20. We'll shorten the period. The second will go from 4:20 to 5:15. That will leave 15 minutes for us to discuss committee business, because we have to know who we want to invite or what business we want to deal with Tuesday and Thursday of next week and beyond that. If everyone can be thinking about that so we can do that in 15 minutes and at least get next Tuesday's witnesses finalized, that would be very helpful.
We'll get right to it. From Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, we have with us today Hugh MacDiarmid, president and chief executive officer, and with him is Bill Pilkington, senior vice-president and chief nuclear officer.
Thank you very much, gentlemen, for coming today. You know well what we're here to discuss today. If you have a presentation of up to ten minutes, go ahead and make the presentation.
