That is the concern I have. We hope to hear from the minister on that, especially as there was a report put together by the best experts and submitted four months ago on an issue that is obviously urgent—certainly for the people you represent through the Cancer Society and the other patients with other diseases who are affected by this.
I'll get to a question, and it might be for both of you. Is there any advantage to having a domestic supply at all? We seem to be at a bit of a crossroads here. The Prime Minister has suggested that we should get out of the isotope business altogether, that Canada shouldn't be in it. Meanwhile, money is being poured into shoring up the Chalk River reactor, and, potentially, your group suggested building a new research facility. That was your first recommendation, which will cost many hundreds of millions of dollars.
Is there an advantage to Canada having its own supply, or should the free market reign and we just pick up isotopes from wherever they may be around the world, through Mr. Littlejohn's services and others'?
