Mr. Speaker, after September 11, at all our nuclear plants security was enhanced to ensure that we have armed guards. In some cases they are provided by the local police and in others they are provided by the security at the plants. This was a measure to respond immediately to the security enhancement. We are looking at some long term measures so that we have consistency across many, but we are responding fully under the international guidelines for protection of all our nuclear plants.
