Mr. Speaker, as I just said, the health and well-being of Canadians and the protection of the environment are our top priority.
In relation to all nuclear activities in Canada, the proposed near surface disposal facility at Chalk River would house low-level and intermediate-level materials to ensure their safe and long-term storage. As members know, the project is subject to review and licensing by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
I encourage all interested Canadians to share their views on the project through that process.
