Mr. Chair, I would like to say that this question is best answered by AECL.

On the question as to why the measures were not put into place when the licence was given in August 2006, the commission made its requirements absolutely clear and so those measures are clearly outlined in the licence. The question as to why these measures were not put into place when they said that they would do so is a question that should be answered by AECL.

See context to find out what was said next.
