Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Natural Resources has indicated that we must address the precarious issue of nuclear fuel waste. We understand that the desire of the minister is to allow industry to manage the control of nuclear fuel waste in this country. The Seaborn panel clearly stated that a waste management organization at arm's length from industry is required. Will the minister assure Canadians that the panel report will not be ignored and that an independent waste management organization will be his government's priority?
