So one of the things this committee will struggle with is trying to actually grasp what the total cost of the shutdown has been. There's the cost to repair it, the lost revenue, and the cost to taxpayers to go out and buy other isotopes.
It's back to Mr. Regan's point about having the health department here. It would be helpful, because they're the ones who may be picking up the tab for that. Well, the Canadian taxpayers are.
I'm a bit confused at the context of this. I appreciate your diligence in going forward. You're doing what you're meant to do, which is to get this thing back on line.
At the shutdown in May, the Prime Minister came out within weeks of that shutdown and said Canada should get out of the isotope business. Meanwhile, we're going to pour $70 million into a 50-year-old reactor to stay in the isotope business, all within the context of the federal government trying to sell off the whole thing, I assume. Has there been anything formal from the government to you folks saying we're getting out of the isotope business? Has there ever been a memo or discussion or something in black and white that says—for you to consider as you're doing your work diligently, day by day—by the way, we're also getting out of this business entirely?
