Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague from Louis‑Saint‑Laurent for his intervention, which represented his values well, all in all. I would like to appeal to him as a Quebecker. We know that the federal government has announced major investments in Volkswagen, Stellantis and Honda, all of which are located in Ontario. Why? It is because Ontario has no reservations about its energy needs.
That will cost it dearly later on, because it is choosing nuclear power. However, Quebec is the one that is going to bear the brunt of the risks Ontario is taking. If the Chalk River site has a spill or something, five million Quebeckers who live down the Ottawa River could suffer the consequences. My colleague trusts the experts, but I would remind him that it was experts who downgraded Chalk River and, according to the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, they are industry people.
Would my colleague at least be in favour of an ARTEMIS review so that international experts could speak to the Chalk River issue—
