WHEREAS Since 1957 MDS Nordion, an Ottawa-based company, has supplied

day worldwide, 5,000 of which are in Canada, to better diagnose and treat a
multitude of diseases including cardiac and several types of cancers; and
WHEREAS over the past two years MDS Nordion has attracted more than $20
million in R&D to Ottawa and Canada; and
WHEREAS MDS Nordion is investing an estimated U.S. $2.2 million with
the University of Ottawa Heart Institute (UOHI), Canada's largest
cardiovascular health centre, to establish a Molecular Imaging Centre of
Excellence to advance cardiology research; and
WHEREAS MDS Nordion has invested over $350M to construct and deliver
two nuclear reactors and a processing facility (the MAPLE project), intended to
replace the 52 year-old National Research Universal (NRU) reactor and provide
for a secure, long-term supply of medical isotopes; and
WHEREAS On May 16, Atomic Energy Canada Limited (AECL) announced its
intention to discontinue the MAPLE project and that the Government of Canada
supported this decision without sharing a new plan for long-term isotope supply
after the NRU; and
WHEREAS the National Research Universal (NRU) has been shutdown since
May 2009 and isn’t expected to return to service before the end of Q1 2010; and

that Canada will eventually be out of the isotope business; and
WHEREAS The Canadian Medical Association passed a resolution at their
Annual General meeting in Saskatoon on August 19, 2009 calling on the federal
government to retain Canada’s leadership and ability to produce and export
medical isotopes and reconsider its decision to withdraw from their production;
and
WHEREAS on June 12, 2009 officials at the Ottawa Hospital said
that the global shortage of medical isotopes has caused them to delay some
medical tests for cancer patients; and
WHEREAS Ottawa City Council currently acts as the Board of Health and
has the responsibility to ensure the responsiveness of our local community
health needs; and
WHEREAS Ottawa City Council has the responsibility to support local
companies and promote economic development in the Nation’s Capital in order to

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED THAT Council direct the Mayor and the City
Manager to write to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Natural Resources
to:
1) Communicate
City Council's support for Canada's leadership role in the world in the
production of medical isotopes.
2) Inform
the Government of Canada that the production of medical isotopes in Canada
results in important investments in research and development (R & D) in
Ontario and our Nation's Capital and of the need to support the continuation of
such investment in R & D.
3) Ask
the federal government to take measures to retain Canada’s leadership and
ability to produce and export medical isotopes and rescind its decision to
withdraw from their production.
4) Request
the Government of Canada, as did the Canadian Medical Association, to immediately
appoint an international expert panel to thoroughly review the decision to
abandon the MAPLE I & II nuclear reactors at Chalk River, Ont., which would
have produced a domestic and international supply of medical isotopes and come
up with recommendations on how to complete the reactors as an ongoing source
for medical isotopes.
BE IT FUTHER RESOLVED THAT this resolution be circulated to the
Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) and to the Federation of
Canadian Municipalities (FCM) requesting that they support this resolution in
