Good afternoon, everyone. We're here today to continue our study of Atomic Energy Canada, the facility at Chalk River, and the status of the production of medical isotopes.
We have today four witnesses. Two are here with us, and two are by video conference. From the École polytechnique Montréal we have Professor Jean Koclas, from the nuclear engineering institute, engineering physics department. From the University of Waterloo we have Professor Jatin Nathwani, Ontario research chair in public policy for sustainable energy management, and executive director of the Waterloo Institute for Sustainable Energy. Welcome.
We have by video conference from Atlanta a gentleman from the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Dr. Daniel Meneley, acting dean, faculty of energy systems and nuclear science. Welcome.
