Thank you.
Congratulations to Mr. Hall.
My questions, sir, are going to be for you. I want to raise the Fukushima nuclear disaster connected to a tsunami and earthquake in 2011. It was a catastrophe for Japan, for the neighbouring countries, for all, including Canada and the United States, that share the Pacific Ocean.
We talk about Fukushima as a past event in 2011, as if it were over, when it is not. There are very clear and present dangers threatening Japan and many other countries. There are 1,500-plus spent nuclear fuel rods to be rescued and dealt with. There is contamination in the Pacific Ocean without significant inspection checks. There is damage to the ocean and to fish such as tuna where contamination is showing up. There is debris washing up along the west coast, with much more to come. There are potential real disasters still with water in Japan and other countries.
What qualifies you to assure Canadians that Canada is safe from a Fukushima?
