In this amendment, we want to add the polluter pays principle to the part dealing with the nuclear industry. I feel that adding that principle could help the industry develop best practice safety standards and minimize risks. It would allow Canada to commit to the polluter pays principle. In our meetings, many witnesses proposed adding this principle in the part dealing with the nuclear industry. They included Mr. Stensil, Ms. McClenaghan, Mr. Amos and Mr. Edwards. I feel it would be particularly worthwhile to add it.
