The gentleman from CNSC used the phrase “junk science”. Whether he knows it or not, he was referring to a study I mentioned performed by Defence Research and Development Canada, and to the best of my recollection, it was done by the Pacific Northwest Laboratories of the United States government. Governments around the world take the threat of a dirty bomb very seriously, and there is a history of black market trading in the materials that would be used. For the representative of the commission to describe this area as “junk science”, I find highly regrettable.
