Mr. Speaker, first nations have taken it upon themselves to respect and protect Mother Earth. In that regard, I commend their leadership, especially the leadership shown by the Kebaowek First Nation, which is being forced to challenge this in court. We are anxiously awaiting the Supreme Court of Canada's ruling on this.
Let me share a personal anecdote that explains my fear of nuclear energy. I went to Fukushima with the Canada-Japan Interparliamentary Group, and we visited the city. Some of our colleagues here were with me. Once we got to the site, we saw a radioactivity index on a device we were wearing. Near a site that exploded 10 years ago, radiation levels were still above 72. This means that the problems we are going to experience could go on forever. We do not have the luxury of prioritizing short-term economics when making those decisions.
