Before we proceed to hear from the Bloc Québécois, I think that in the view of the Chair it would be appropriate first of all to welcome to the committee Mr. Torgerson, the Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer and President for the Research and Technology Division of AECL and also Mr. Brian McGee, Senior Vice-President and Chief Nuclear Officer.
I would ask whether either of you gentlemen or one of you would wish to make a five minute statement giving the position of AECL to the committee.
