Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Binder, I must tell you that I am really totally ignorant about nuclear things, but I am not the only one. People still remember Chernobyl and the impact that it had. You tell us that you are informing the public through the Internet, but let us not forget that some regions of Canada do not have the Internet. People do not naturally by instinct consult the Internet to find out what is going on. I think that you should establish a better mode of communication to inform the people about the problems you are facing. In fact, these things are worrisome only to those who know nothing about nuclear physics.
You say that there is no contradiction between protecting public health and ensuring a supply of isotopes, and that these are merely factors that need to be considered in making decisions. As you said, the previous departmental directive did not include the management of isotopes. Therefore, is it not right to say that your position is more sensitive than your predecessor's position was?
