That's a multitude of questions in one question.
Starting off, I think that the whole issue of nuclear waste and Chalk River is an important element to discuss, primarily because developing laws in our interest is really about protecting the water in the long term. The current project that's been approved by CNSC causes us great concern and heartburn in the fact that down the road, in a couple of hundred years, the mound will degenerate and in all likelihood, from everything we've seen, poison the water.
We're not clear whether or not Bill C-61 will have any major implications as, of course, there are other ministries involved. It could help, but it will also require the ministry of natural resources and the ministry of the environment to take into consideration our concerns around what's happening at Chalk River.
I'm sorry, but it's common sense. I don't think you need to be a nuclear scientist to recognize that building a nuclear waste dump at the edge of an important water source like the Ottawa River is probably not a very good idea, for the very fact that potential leaching could impact the drinking water supply for millions of people in the future.
Again, I'm not sure Bill C-61 will have major implications in terms of what's happening at Chalk River, but it will most certainly help communities like mine potentially use and argue that some elements of UNDRIP need to be taken into consideration prior to the government making decisions.
Again, when projects like the nuclear NSDF—the nuclear dump at Chalk River—come to bear, I think we should always opt for erring on the side of caution rather than simply moving ahead with projects that have the potential to impact our water supply.
