I believe the honourable member is talking about the Chalk River labs side, which is the government-owned, company-operated model. It's a model used around the world--in the United States and the United Kingdom as well. It's looked at as a way to ensure there is focus, innovation, and excellence in the delivery.
It's also a way to ensure that they won't be looking just at CANDU reactors; they'll be doing research on all kinds of different R and D priorities in the nuclear field here in Canada. On the benefits associated with this management model, it will bring in private sector expertise and ensure it's being managed as best as possible and that we're unleashing the best aspects of our scientists for R and D.
It is a model that we're considering. Much work has been done by the department on it, but our current focus at Chalk River is really to ensure that the NRU is brought back into production as expeditiously as possible. That's the most important, pressing matter right now at Chalk River.
