Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
First of all, I'm really pleased to be part of this committee. It's good to see everyone.
Dr. Whitlock, I'm the member of Parliament for Oshawa, and basically I live between Darlington and Pickering, two well-known nuclear facilities. I must say that most of the people in my community are pretty comfortable with the situation. We live there, we work there, we have neighbours who work in these facilities, we have kids who go to school and become nuclear engineers and we see the economic benefits of it. I think one of the most important reasons for that is the industry overall has done a very good job with us locally, educating people on nuclear and what it's all about.
One of the questions I have for you is, though, moving forward and looking at places to actually store this long-term. Many Canadians are happy when these are government facilities, but moving forward, I think some of the storage facilities may be privately run. I wonder if you have a comment on risk-benefits for people who live in communities where storage facilities will be.
As far as transparency and access to information is concerned, do you think everything is manageable so the industry can get the information out and people such as those in my community who have a lot of questions can get those answers?
