Mr. Chair, what we are talking about is the date the licence amendment would be given. At that point, AECL would then return to start the reactor up. It is AECL's responsibility once it gets the licence amendment. If it were allowed now to have one pump under the current licence, we would not need a licence amendment. It is absolutely clear that we need a licence amendment. It is clear that if it operated with one pump it would not be within the current licence.

AECL needs to start this up once it has a licence amendment.
