Good afternoon, everyone.
We're here today to continue our review of the state of the nuclear industry in Canada and abroad. This review leads up to our study of Bill C-20.
We have six groups represented here today. We will allow them to give their presentations in the order laid out in the agenda.
However, first I want to mention that we have to pass a budget to cover the expenses of people who have expenses that qualify. We'll do that at the end of the meeting. It shouldn't take long, but we want to leave a few minutes in case there is any discussion. We have it scheduled at 5:15; if you think we can do it in less time, we can go a little bit later.
Go ahead, Mr. Regan.
