We heard the statement, as everyone else did. We looked at this from a patient perspective, from the question of achieving a sustainable supply of technetium 99. You are correct, a global solution is absolutely necessary. It is a global marketplace. Anything that happens has to take place in that global context. It is quite possible that Canadian patients will be supplied without the presence of a domestic producer. But if we want to ask what Canada can do to ensure the best possible sustainable secure supply, one of the things we could do as a country is to follow the recommendations in our report. I think five countries in the world out of 195 are global suppliers, six now with Poland, and there are probably another four or five countries who do domestic supply. So you've got 195 countries being sourced by ten or so. We could choose to be one of those ten or we could choose to be one of the other 185.
