Mr. Chair, on February 19, 2007, there was an article in the Toronto Star that read:

At one point, AECL concealed safety problems from the watchdog for almost three months

AECL is at fault regarding the cancer patients who have been denied isotopes. It is the root of the problem. Why would we make it the solution? Why should AECL be charged with determining the safety of reactors when it has been so negligent and defiant to meeting standards in the past? Is this not putting the fox in charge of the hen house?
