Mr. Speaker, Ontario along with France, Spain and Japan are the four international sites being considered for the $12 billion international thermonuclear experimental reactor project. The goal of the project is to develop fusion as a sustainable clean energy source for the future.
The province of Ontario has committed $300 million to the project and is willing to fund more to win the bid.
Does the federal government plan to make a financial commitment to the ITER project regardless of whether we get the project?
