UPDATED: Yay! Another emergency committee meeting to liveblog!

This time, it’s the members of Natural Resources that are being summoned back by the power of SO 106(4), and the meeting itself will be apparently be all about the isotope crisis. According to Canadian Press, Liberal natural resources critic Geoff Regan is hoping to hear from “nuclear medicine specialists and provincial health ministers,” as well as usual suspects AECL and MDS Nordion. At the moment, there’s nothing on the parliamentary website, but as soon as the notice goes up, ITQ will update this post.
