Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Maybe it is the welding hall of fame in this particular case.
I want to thank you both for coming today. Actually, I want to thank you for providing us with, by far, the best explanation and demonstration, really, that we've had to date of the complexity of this process. Up till now we had a vague idea that you had to go down three metres and so forth, and it's very complex and radioactive, so you don't go in there and just weld. I think today you've given us a very clear idea of the complexity of that.
As much as I'd like to ask more questions about the welding and all that, I'm not going to because it isn't where my focus ought to be today.
Last night at a briefing, apparently, finance department officials explained that the budget bill gives cabinet the authority to sell AECL without going through the Investment Canada Act. In other words, there will be no restrictions on foreign ownership and no national security test. Is that your understanding, Mr. MacDiarmid?
