Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Many environmental groups are concerned by the rollout of small modular nuclear reactors. Although nuclear energy emits very little carbon, it raises enormous problems regarding nuclear waste management and the risk of incidents. Canada barely avoided disaster at Chalk River on two occasions in the 1950s. Consider as well the sad episodes in Ukraine and, more recently, in Japan. Accidents happen.
There's a new technology, managed by private business, that uses trucks to transport radioactive waste. Judging from the concerns of environmental groups, it presents major risks. Why has your government chosen to include it in its green economy strategy?
