Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have questions for the Nuclear Safety Commission as well, but it won't take long.
Ladies, I would like to begin by saying that I read in your speaking notes that you are on the unceded traditional territory of the Algonquin Anishinabe people. When I read that sentence, I immediately thought of the community of Kebaowek, an Algonquin first nation that is calling for meaningful consultation on the nuclear waste disposal project at Chalk River. You're declaring that you're on their traditional unceded territory, but I think your organization could start by being more sensitive to them. That would be more credible. I won't belabour the point.
There are a lot of things I want to get clarification on. In particular, I'd like you to send the committee a written response on the independent environmental monitoring program, or IEMP, that you mentioned in your remarks. Since you say that the program is independent, I'd like you to explain to us in writing how it is independent, how it works and to whom it reports. You also say that indigenous people will be involved in this independent environmental monitoring program, but will they really be?
Ms. Tadros, in your opening remarks, you said that you incorporate national and international best practices into your regulatory framework. If cabinet asked the International Atomic Energy Agency to conduct an ARTEMIS review, would you welcome that approach? I'm asking you to answer only yes or no, because I have other questions to ask, this time for Mr. Lasserre.
