Mr. Chair, it has occurred to me that for all these amendments we've dealt with—the NDP, the Liberal, and now Ms. May's, and going forward to the next amendment that you'll deal with from the NDP—we've had circumstances in which people have intentionally taken aircraft into installations, which has increased investment by government agencies around the world in electrical installations, nuclear installations, and so on. I find it incredible that under this bill there isn't any thought given to other persons who may cause, through intent or negligence.... We could simply have somebody flying an aircraft and not paying attention or whatever, or running out of gas and ramming into a nuclear installation. These various amendments allow for persons other than the operator to be held liable.
It seems logical that there would be some kind of broader provision in the bill to hold persons other than the operator of a nuclear facility...whether it's a waste management facility, a refining facility, or so on. You could have people breaking into a nuclear waste facility and stealing nuclear material. It just seems logical that if we can't specifically say “suppliers or contractors”, there should be some kind of mechanism to allow for the liability of other persons who cause harm through damage to nuclear facilities.
