Mr. Speaker, the second petition is a good news story. It is supporting the banning of the Nuclear Waste Management Organization in South Bruce. Despite the fact that there was a good, positive decision as of November 28 and the final decision was made to choose an alternative location in northern Ontario for nuclear waste disposal, the petitioners still want the government to have a proper process in place.
The petitioners are concerned about the transportation, processing, burial and abandonment of close to 1,200 tonnes of nuclear waste that would remain radioactive for 100,000 years. They are calling for this to be reviewed and mandated through legislation and law because the process that was taken in South Bruce was dysfunctional for the community.
Again, the community has fought back and won this fight for themselves, their families and the future of our country by protecting the Great Lakes waterway, which has been asked for repeatedly over these number of years.
