Mr. Chair, it seems to me that, with matters as complicated as these, we are like a group of sorcerers' apprentices. If a reactor blew up, we do not know what effect it would have on other reactors. We know nothing about it, but here we are passing a bill on liability. No one can tell us if a damaged reactor is going to cause others to blow up, and I am not just talking about the CANDU reactor, but other kinds of facilities that are going to be built around the world.
I appreciate what Mr. McCauley has just said. But the fact remains that the United States has more reactors and, of course, more money. They have $9 billion to cover incidents, whereas our $650 million covers maybe one reactor, maybe four. There seems to be something illogical about that.
I find Mr. Bevington's point very interesting, but the fact remains that we do not have answers to our questions. I do not see how the people on the other side can say that, if it is written like it is, it must be fine. I do not see things like that. I would like someone to give me an intelligent answer before I have to decide.
