Madam Speaker, my committee colleague kept saying that the Bloc Québécois is against nuclear energy. It is true that the Bloc Québécois does not support nuclear development, but we recognize that it is a legitimate preference for other stakeholders. However, to say that nuclear power is clean energy is just plain wrong. I did not specify all the different types of radioactive waste in my speech, but I could list them all. It is extremely hazardous.
Let us talk numbers. Wall Street estimates that renewables are already three to seven times cheaper than nuclear. Even the International Energy Agency says that, globally, non-hydro renewables will account for 90% of all new electricity generation over the next five years. It seems to me that these are valid alternatives that are cheaper and that may be much cleaner than nuclear energy.
