That's an excellent question. Your best answer would be from AECL lawyers.

But my understanding would be that you're absolutely correct. When we talk about liability in respect of Point Lepreau, we mean what accrues from the latest contract that AECL has signed for the refurbishment of the reactor. It's not as though there's ongoing liability forever and ever with regard to all the reactors AECL has built around the world.

So I think you're absolutely correct on that. I would like to see that validated by AECL lawyers, but certainly that is my understanding.
