Mr. Speaker, it is obviously the intention of the government that the utilities that essentially create the waste material should be responsible for its disposal.
According to Seaborn, about 87% of that waste comes from Ontario Hydro, about 6% comes from New Brunswick Power, about 5% comes from Hydro Quebec and about 2% from the research operations at AECL.
We have invited the utilities to work on the development of the appropriate waste management authority and it would seem that it would reflect the proportionate shares of the problem.
