Madam Speaker, there are many things in my colleague's speech that I could talk about.
First, if we are going to talk about civil society groups, they include experts, academics, engineers and physicists. They are all against the Chalk River NSDF. They also question the financial aspect. They want to know how much it will cost. Nuclear power is extremely expensive. Projects always go over budget. They take time to build. Meanwhile, we are in a climate emergency. Wind power, solar power, geothermal power and energy storage cost far less.
Here is my question for my colleague. Why is there no credible cost estimate for the Chalk River NSDF, which is the flagship waste disposal project?
