Mr. Chair, I think the question is important. I mentioned in our opening comments that for the stakeholders, the companies that work with SDTC, stability and predictability are very important. Obviously, we want to see the transition concluded within a year. We are hoping to do it earlier than that.
The question of the funding that a given company might well be waiting for now is obviously important. It's with the SDTC organization and the interim board. They have to examine it. As I have spoken about here, they're reviewing the files, given that questions and observations have been raised in terms of eligibility in some cases and so on. They have to complete that work. The restart work is not undertaken at the NRC at this time. Once that is done, we will take on the files that are valid and that conform to the contribution agreement. Those are the files that will be transferred to us.
I think it's important that the member's question is very well understood in terms of the need to get this going and, for the companies that are waiting, the real need for them from a business point of view. The restart is not something that the NRC is directly involved in. It's with the SDTC and its board and staff.
