Thank you, Mr. Chair.
First, I would like to have the clerk follow up on this request.
Mr. Gorman, you made a number of claims regarding the cost of hydroelectricity produced in Quebec versus the cost of nuclear energy. Something you seem to disregard in singing the praises of nuclear energy is the cost associated with the waste generated by small modular reactors. You also made a claim in relation to the phase-out of natural gas in western Canada.
I would like to have Mr. Gorman provide the committee members with the documentation to back up his claims.
My next question is for Ms. Swami.
Ms. Swami, please know that I do not doubt your good intentions.
Your organization's mandate is to oversee the long-term management of high-level radioactive waste. However, your leaders, the owners, are the organizations that you report to, in other words, the polluters.
How can you fully carry out your mandate when the polluters are the ones calling the shots regarding their own pollution? The fox isn't usually in charge of the henhouse.
