Madam Speaker, I find my hon. colleague's question quite surprising because he is surely aware that decisions about electricity generation in the provinces fall under provincial jurisdiction. It is a provincial responsibility.
Furthermore, given the fact that the Bloc Québécois members have been talking about protecting provincial powers since the party's inception, I am surprised that the member would even suggest that the federal government should get involved in an area that falls under provincial jurisdiction.
The fact is that the provinces have to make these decisions. For example, the Province of Ontario has decided to build nuclear power plants.
I think that the federal government and Parliament should ensure that the regulations are strong enough to deal with this sector.
