Thank you for the question.
As you know, AECL has been heavily supported by Canadian taxpayers for decades, and that's why our government moved forward to sell the CANDU reactor division to SNC-Lavalin, to protect taxpayers' interests while ensuring the continued strength of Canada's nuclear sector. We were fortunate that SNC-Lavalin was the last bidder standing. We had an open bidding process, as you know, and every one of the other bidders dropped out. Fortunately, SNC-Lavalin, a Canadian company, has an international presence and a lot of expertise in this area, and so we felt very comfortable selling it to them. It's in good hands.
As to the funding, we wanted to stop the additional liability acquired relating to new builds, but we of course retain the liability that we have had. It could not be passed on to the new buyer. The funding allocated to AECL will enable it to meet operational requirements and contractual obligations and cover costs associated with the divestiture of the CANDU reactor division.
I can't give you a specific number, however, about the process going forward. We have ongoing responsibility in respect to reactors that were built before.
