Let us for the sake of argument assume that it was the right decision to suspend or cancel the MAPLE project. Let us for the sake of argument say that it was the right decision. However, what is of concern is that the government did not take the time to devise a plan B, to tell us how it is going to maintain the supply of isotopes for the next 30 years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1123640\" data-originallang=\"en\">AECL has a contract for the next 30 years to supply isotopes. If the government plans to get out of that business, it should be honest and tell Canadians so they know not to expect isotopes from AECL. However, it is not telling us. All it is doing is cancelling the project.</p>",

Pour les besoins de la discussion, supposons qu'on a pris la bonne d\u00e9cision en suspendant la r\u00e9alisation du projet MAPLE ou en annulant ce projet. Supposons que c'\u00e9tait la bonne d\u00e9cision \u00e0 prendre. Il reste quand m\u00eame que le gouvernement n'a pas pris le temps de pr\u00e9voir une solution de rechange et ne dit pas comment il compte maintenir l'approvisionnement en isotopes pour les 30 prochaines ann\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1123640\" data-originallang=\"en\">\u00c9nergie atomique du Canada a un contrat dans lequel elle s'engage \u00e0 fournir des isotopes pour les 30 prochaines ann\u00e9es. Si le gouvernement pr\u00e9voit se retirer de cette production, il devrait le dire honn\u00eatement aux Canadiens de mani\u00e8re \u00e0 ce qu'ils sachent qu'ils ne peuvent pas compter sur \u00c9nergie atomique du Canada pour l'approvisionnement en isotopes. Mais, le gouvernement est muet. Il ne fait qu'annuler le projet. </p>"
