Thank you, Chair.
Clause 17 reads:
Reasonable costs of remedial measures taken to repair, reduce or mitigate environmental damage caused by a nuclear incident may be compensated if the measures were ordered by an authority acting under federal or provincial legislation relating to environmental protection.
Our amendment, which is in the committee's package under NDP-2, is that Bill C-20, in clause 17, be amended by replacing lines 9 to 11 on page 6 with the following:
compensated.
Essentially what this has the effect of doing is saying that clause 17 would read as follows:
Reasonable costs of remedial measures taken to repair, reduce or mitigate environmental damage caused by a nuclear incident may be compensated.
