Thank you.
I'll explain my interest in Chalk River. First, my drinking water comes from the St. Lawrence River, as the Ottawa River flows into our area. We also know that Chalk River is in a seismic zone in western Quebec. We also know that the slope criterion was changed from 10% to 25% to make the site eligible. We also know that it flows into the creek. Mr. Mazier asked a question about this earlier. The International Atomic Energy Agency says it has to be very far from drinking water sources, rather than near them.
Given all this, what is still motivating Canadian Nuclear Laboratories to continue to advocate the Chalk River site for near-surface waste management facilities?
