Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his question. There are two parts to it. One is the short-term reaction to the problem before us.
Right now, Canada is leading in the world to find an international response to this global problem. In fact, the Petten reactor in The Netherlands has ramped up production by 50% and South Africa by 30%. Australia is moving fast to bring the OPAL reactor on line and some believe that this will happen within the next few weeks. That is the short-term solution.
In the long-term, we have a panel of experts who are working to address the problem of medical isotope production.
