moved for leave to introduce Bill C-403, an act to amend the Nuclear Energy Act and the Nuclear Safety and Control Act.
Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to reintroduce my private member's bill to essentially split responsibility for Atomic Energy of Canada Limited and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
It is quite clear to me, and I think to most Canadians, that having both these agencies report and be responsible to the same minister puts that minister in a clear conflict. Splitting that responsibility would serve Canadians much better.
