Thanks, Chair.
My question is for OPG.
One year ago, many GTA residents in the Durham region and Scarborough received a package of iodine pills in the mail. Those pills were meant to protect the residents who live within 10 kilometres of Pickering and Darlington. Our CANDU technologies have proven to be technologies of high performance and with inherent safety features. As I know, OPG has very robust emergency preparedness program and a five-layer defence-in-depth principle. Even though a serious nuclear accident is extremely unlikely from OPG or in Ontario, some residents still felt increased fear when they received these pills in the mail, because they didn't know what they were.
My guess is that when the OPG goes to the residents and tries to explain the situation and the principle, they may not trust you 100%, because you're the nuclear energy producer. In your opinion, what is the best way to educate the local people? Should the government be more active in promoting this greater public awareness or confidence in our nuclear safety?
