I will broaden Deputy Griffin's point. We must have objective consideration of nuclear energy and must be very well informed. In addition, we have a responsibility with regard to how we will deliver energy to future generations. It is not just about who is sitting here around the table. Where the debate might be won or lost is in the climate change element. I would like to see more studies done and have much more detail on how the equation of nuclear energy could solve our climate change problems. On that point, have the witnesses considered going before the environment committee to state how nuclear energy could deal with the climate change issue? That would help to further both their case and the climate change question.
