Thanks, Chair.
And thank you to our witnesses.
This is taking place in the context of the tragedy that's going on in Japan. It's a confluence of timing that this committee is talking about energy security in Canada and how nuclear power fits into that question of security.
When we deal with energy security, two of the fundamental principles we deal with are safety of the energy supply and cost. I think those are fair definitions that we work with. We're also talking about public support for various options in power generation. Does the public want to see windmills? Do they want to see solar, gas-fired, nuclear, and what not?
We met with the nuclear regulator this morning.
When Japan built that reactor, the specifications were not up to a 9.0 magnitude earthquake. The specifications were below that. Is that your understanding?
