First of all, Mr. Chair, this is not bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo. It is the law. If the commission goes outside its mandate, we will be taken to Federal Court for exceeding our mandate.
We are concerned about Canadians in the isotope field. We did not have an application or any reason; we did not have a regulatory licence in front of us. I certainly believe that communications should have been made and they would not necessarily come from a commission that has not seen any applications. I think Mr. McGee talked about that earlier.
The view of the commission is that we respect Parliament and Parliament set out the law.
