I believe that the minister's decision to appoint an expert panel is a very wise one, because it will bring to the fore all of the possibilities that can and should be examined. That will hopefully lead to a future direction on isotope production in Canada in both nuclear and non-nuclear ways.
In many respects, our role must be to follow the policy direction of the government as it exists. My interpretation of events is that there is a need for further evaluation and study of what possibilities exist. At the appropriate time, decisions will be made as to how the Government of Canada should give us direction and what AECL should do with respect to continued production.
In the meantime, we know what our job is.
