Mr. Speaker, I answered this question last week. There has been no emergency response request plan filed by AECL for the transportation of this particular material. Our department has not received a request.
It is up to Transport Canada under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act to approve the transportation of these substances.
I remind the House that 800,000 shipments annually of radioactive material occur in Canada and they occur, by and large, without incident.
We have a very elaborate response program and tracking plan called CANUTEC in Transport Canada that does the job well in looking for safety issues.
