Ms. Keen, as the natural resources critic, I received a lot of email from the citizens of my riding, as well as from other provinces, who are deeply concerned about the Conservative government's attack on the independence of your organization. Many people share your fears. Canadians don't really understand why you were scapegoated and why you are being made to bear the brunt of the medical isotopes crisis.
Ms. Keen, your job is to ensure nuclear safety. AECL's job is to meet its clients' needs by producing medical isotopes. Given this fact, and after having gone through all the available information, I believe, as does the Bloc Québécois, that AECL failed in delivering isotopes to its clients. We also believe that you are not responsible for whether or not the isotope contracts are respected. We believe that the roles got mixed up and the public debate and media spotlight were turned on to you rather than on to those who were responsible, namely Minister Lunn, the government and AECL.
Unless I'm shown evidence...
