Yes.
In summary, this amendment deletes “and no person other than an operator”, and brings the supplier into the liability process.
As the testimony showed, the current legislation poses a real problem because only the operator is held liable in the event of an accident. Suppliers providing services in the nuclear installations would not be held liable, for example, in the event of negligence or a poorly executed operation.
This is a major problem that absolutely has to be fixed during the study on Bill C-22. Of course, the operator must be held liable, but if the suppliers of goods or services with whom the operator is doing business have no liability in the event of an accident, I see a major problem. This absolutely must be corrected.
