Madam Speaker, I want to thank my friend and colleague from the Standing Committee on the Environment and Sustainable Development for her speech.
I want to say that I am proud of Ontario's electricity system because our system is clean and it includes nuclear energy. Nuclear energy is safe and important.
I am going to get into it in my speech, but in 2005 in Ontario we still burned coal for electricity, and we do not anymore. There were smog days back then, and there are not anymore. Our system in Canada is clean. It is renewable. Nuclear plays a really strong role, but I hear the member opposite disparage the nuclear industry, when it is also responsible for developing isotopes, which save lives. I am eager to get to this in my speech.
