Madam Speaker, indeed, why are we moving forward? One hundred and forty municipalities say no. Ottawa says no. Indigenous nations say no. Everyone who is consulted says no, but the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission is moving forward. Who is in charge here?
Why bother holding consultations when no one is listening? Of the 41 briefs submitted to the committee, 36—the majority—said no to nuclear expansion. No one is listening. We hear nothing but radio silence because some elected officials are pandering to the nuclear industry and listening to no one but the lobby.
