Thank you so much for your question.
I would also like to thank you for recognizing the Algonquin Anishinabe communities on our land. The Ottawa River watershed covers nearly all Algonquin territory. The voices of the Algonquin people are very important. They say they were not adequately consulted. I think we must listen to them, since they are telling us about their experience loud and clear.
I am aware that is not exactly what the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission said. In fact, in its decision, the commission said that it had consulted the Algonquin nation, but this does not align with the experience of the Kebaowek community, the Kitigan Zibi community or other communities.
It's not my job to make sure the project succeeds. That's the developer's job. What I can tell you is that you have to look at the rules and make sure they will protect the waters.
People keep saying that those involved must rely on the precautionary principle, but that is certainly not what was done in this project.
