Certainly, we're used to paying our own way. That's been the mandate in front of me at the university for the last eight years I've been there. We don't get any government operating funds, either federal or provincial. We're mandated to pay our salaries and our fuel and our equipment out of our operating budget, which comes from taking on commercial activities, including isotope sales. So we're used to balancing the books.
When we looked at the moly-99 proposal, to help on that one, it was clear from the government that they didn't want to support this long term. But they were also cognizant of the fact that if they wanted us to help, infrastructure and start-up funding would be a reasonable ask from the universities. So the money I talked about earlier would be the operating funds over five years, which is a lot of money, but still the goal of the university is and always has been to pay our own way coming out of this.
So I think you can do it, and I think we have proven that we've done it before. We hope to do it again.
