Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As I'm new on this committee, Mr. Chair, I just want to understand what we are trying to achieve in these committees. Do we want to be productive or just waste time all the time? I noticed this in previous meetings as well. Today I'm noticing we are dealing with a motion for more than one hour. As far as the motion is concerned, I can see that the wording of the motion says “In light of testimony from AECL and CNSC officials”, which means to my understanding that there is something new that invokes the return of the minister. To me, none of the officals said that there was any risk to any human life or that there was any damage that was considerably noticeable.
So I don't know what the intention is here. I guess, to my understanding, it seems like even though there are no new developments, it's a matter of sidetracking ourselves so that we do not get on to productive activities rather than.... We are playing games. This is what my understanding is, and I definitely oppose that the minister be invited now.
Thank you.
