Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
On April 18, representatives of Canada signed an agreement with Russia allowing Canada to begin importing plutonium, a highly radioactive substance, for use as a fuel, for one thing, in Candu reactors, which in fact the government intends to sell increasingly outside the country.
Would the Prime Minister not agree that importing plutonium originating in Russia is an extremely dangerous business, given the enormous health and environmental risks associated with the processing and handling of this highly unstable material?
