Thank you, Mr. Chair, for the opportunity.
I can't help but say that I always marvel at Mr. McGuinty in committee and some of the things he does say. Given the fact that he said people were not consulting with experts, but I know that you, Mr. Urbain, have been involved, and I know Dr. Gulenchyn has been on the panel, that's a little bit rich of him, to say the least.
Dr. Urbain, you talked about the 1990s—and I just want to follow up on some of those technologies, especially the PET technology—and the opportunity that might have been missed back then to go with this technology. Regarding the comments you made about three years and six years, we've known with these reactors—and I think the youngest is about 45 years old, if I recall correctly—that this is really a time bomb for these five reactors around the world.
What I would like to understand is that if we had gone with the PET technology and had done the things needed in the 1990s to bring ourselves up to speed, as some of the other countries have done, what would have been the impact on isotope usage today if that had been implemented?
