Thank you.
Mr. MacDiarmid, the government and AECL seem to be putting a lot of hope into the ACR-1000. You say that you're not an expert on this, but it seems to me that the CEO of AECL should be in the best position to answer these questions for members of Parliament, even though he has held the position for only five months.
When you are an expert on nuclear technology and you want to market a high-performance reactor, why choose to use enriched uranium? I believe that Canada does not have the technology needed to enrich uranium. We would therefore be dependent on other countries for our enriched uranium supply. I don't understand why Atomic Energy of Canada chose to use enriched uranium in its new ACR-1000. I would like you to explain that.
