Good afternoon, everyone. We're ready to start the meeting.
I would just like to say before we start that we'll need a budget to cover any claims for travel expenses from this study. If we could just hang around a little bit at the end to deal with that, I would appreciate it.
Secondly, you will get your copy of the report on integrated energy systems towards the end of the meeting, so you'll have that today. We'll deal with it Thursday.
Today we are continuing our study, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), of the Atomic Energy Canada Limited facility at Chalk River and the status of the production of medical isotopes.
We have with us today four groups of witnesses, three here in person and one by video conference. From the Canadian Association of Nuclear Medicine we have Jean-Luc Urbain, president, and Peter Hollett, past president. From the Canadian Association of Radiologists we have Edward Lyons, president, and Jacques Lévesque, vice-president. From the Quebec Association of Nuclear Medicine Specialists we have the president, François Lamoureux. By video conference from Hamilton, from the Hamilton Health Sciences and St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton, we have Karen Gulenchyn, the medical chief of the department of nuclear medicine.
We will go in the order listed on the agenda for today, starting with witnesses from the Canadian Association of Nuclear Medicine, for up to ten minutes. Whether one of you will give the presentation or you want to share, it's entirely up to you, but please limit it to ten minutes.
Thank you very much, and go ahead.
