Mr. Chair, I want to come back to this issue of regular reporting to the House because there are certainly some questions that we all have. We want to ensure that we get back to production of isotopes, but the question of risk to the safety of workers is also of concern.
I want either of the ministers to clarify that they are willing to have a report every 20 or 30 days on the status of the operation over this 120 day period so Canadians can have confidence that there is no risk to the safety of workers and, in fact, that all precautions are being taken. That is one question.
The second question would be this. This whole issue has been quite a fiasco in many ways. Here we are today hearing the conflict between AECL and CNSC and there is clearly some animosity and conflict happening. Parliament has a right to know exactly what happened that led to this point. We need to have this matter referred to the health committee or to the natural resources committee in January or February so we can get to the bottom of it.
I would like clarification on those two points from the government.
I would also like to ask both Ms. Keen and one of the representatives from AECL about the possibility of there being a problem once immediate start-up occurs and this 120 day period commences. Some folks have expressed concern that it is in the start-up that we may see some complications in terms of threat to safety or risk to safety. Has that been analyzed and what are we likely to see once start-up commences?
