Mr. Speaker, if there is one thing that makes me proud to be a Quebecker, it is the fact that we have turned our backs on nuclear power. We chose the safety of the people, both present and future generations, for centuries to come, even millennia. It was a responsible choice.
That said, Quebec and its border do not have to become the nuclear garbage dump for the rest of Canada. We know that small modular reactors are popping up, that they are going to be everywhere; that is the Canadian way. However, Quebec is assuming the risks, and that is totally unacceptable.
