Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I was sitting here looking through some of the notes. I was thinking that I've been on the natural resources committee through five or six ministers, going back to when John Efford from Newfoundland was here.
We're not usually the most exciting or glamorous committee, but one issue over the years has made us a bit high profile and that was when Chalk River had a little problem with the medical isotopes reactor and the history with the MAPLEs and so forth. So I was very interested in the notes, and in your presentation that you noted there's another $9.9 million, $10 million coming involved with medical isotopes.
Could you explain what that $10 million is for? Then, in as much detail as you feel comfortable—and more is generally better in this circumstance—could you explain what the government is continuing to do, where it's at, involving medical isotopes?
Thank you, Mr. Minister.
