Okay.
That's what we're trying to understand as a committee, and I think that's what Canadians are trying to understand.
The government has said a couple of things that sound contradictory to their actions. One is that they want to get out of the isotope business. That's what the Prime Minister said. The minister has said, and the previous minister, for a long time, that we want to sell AECL, and we want to sell it for the most that we can get--meanwhile inhibiting you from signing contracts that would make the sale of a higher value to Canadians.
We've put in $22 billion in adjusted 2009 dollars in AECL over 60 years. That's a significant investment. We're hoping to get some kind of return on that. Holding you guys up from signing contracts seems totally contrary to the purposes of getting value for the Canadian taxpayer.
