Thank you Mr. Chair.
Ms. Gelfand, thank you for your presentation. It was very interesting. Unfortunately, I will have to continue in English.
In your news conference on Parliament Hill regarding your report, you called your findings “serious” and “not acceptable” and said they should not happen when we're dealing with nuclear power plants.
I found your response to Mr. Lemieux very enlightening when we contrast it with the testimony that we had from Dr. Binder of the CNSC here before the committee. I would characterize it as downplaying the situation as administrative oversight with no impact on safety.
I have a press release here from OPG about Darlington being rated among the world's safest and best-performing nuclear stations in the world. You mentioned in your presentation that the things that come to mind when Canadians think about nuclear power are often the tragic accidents that have happened in Chernobyl and Fukushima, so we want to make sure that we are putting this in perspective but also that we are treating it seriously.
Can you speak to the relative safety of Canadian nuclear power compared to the safety of plants elsewhere in the world? Could you also perhaps expand on whether this was strictly administrative, or could it lead to problems in the future? I want to make sure that we characterize this correctly.
