Given the fact that AECL's board of directors had already made a recommendation to the minister to shelve the MAPLEs, the MAPLE project, prior to the 2007 shutdown of Chalk River, is it your view that the government should have begun coming up with a plan B to deal with the production of medical isotopes at that time? We had, of course, a month-long shutdown then, and one would think it suggested the possibility that it could happen again.
