Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I have questions for Ms. Holman as well as Mr. Frey.
I'll start with Ms. Holman.
First of all, thank you for being here. Ottawa Riverkeeper is absolutely essential to protecting the Ottawa River. You truly are the voice of our communities, so thank you for the great work you've been doing since 2001.
I'm going to move on to a more difficult subject right away, if I may. We've talked a lot about Chalk River in the course of this committee's deliberations. I'm sure Ms. Pauzé saw this coming.
One of the things we don't hear enough about, and something that concerns me, is the radioactive waste that's already there. I was discussing this myself with Ms. Pauzé. Any attempt to put off managing this waste indefinitely really scares me.
We have a solution, which is outlined clearly in your report. The waste is there. It's part of the environmental legacy. The proposal involves burying it safely. The proposed site at Chalk River will contain 90% of the waste that already exists.
However, you have recommendations for improving the project and making it even safer. Could you comment on that?
