Okay, well, let me answer it this way.
Again, I'm not a physicist, but I do bring some strengths to the board. I'm one member of the board. Again, I bring a number of strengths. I'm usually reasonably calm under pressure. I do have a background in problem recognition and remedial management. I have an instinct for dealing with trouble. I have organizational ability in my background, that is, making sure that the right people are in the right jobs to get the things done that need to be done. I'm a big-picture guy now at this point in my business career, but I am willing to, and do, wade into the detail when it is needed. I'm comfortable with ambiguity, that is to say, in a lot of the things I've done in the past, I've dealt with having to make decisions when you don't have all the facts that you wish you had, but you have to make the call anyway. I'm comfortable working with professionals, including lawyers. I'm comfortable with legal documentation. I'm intellectually curious—at least I'm told this—and I'm certainly intellectually independent. I say what I think. I'm a pretty hard worker. I'm reasonably smart, and with me, people get what they see.
I think I bring a certain perspective to the board. There are other board members. Chalk River by itself, with senior management and in the other labs, has more nuclear experience and expertise and knowledge than almost any other place in North America. We do leave it to those people to run the site.
Our job as board members is oversight, guidance, and advice, and that's what we provide.
If I can say one last thing on this, the management team does report to the board, and fulsomely. We don't just sit down and have people come in and just talk to us. There are reports. There are studies. The meetings go for a couple of days, full days. I think the board's pretty well informed as to what's going on. We rely on that, and I think you also should be able to rely on that.
Thank you.
