Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses.
I suppose there are three components to the question we have in front of us. One is the proposal itself to ship radioactive waste through the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence. The second is the process that was used by the federal government to get permission to do this. The third is this question of influence that has now been put out by the regulator, assuming and saying, and I'm quoting, “...this is not about safety. This is about anti-nuclear. There is a professional anti-nuclear organization who are preying off the fear of nuclear”.
I don't think I've ever heard a regulator go so far beyond the bounds of their own mandate to cast aspersions on anyone who raised questions about this proposal as has been put forward by Bruce Power.
Dr. Lynn, you folks did a formal risk assessment. In your comments earlier you said you assumed no breach in the shield and therefore no accident in that formal risk assessment. Have you published and allowed the public to look at this formal risk assessment?
