Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Returning to the matter of Chalk River and the nuclear waste landfill site on the banks of the Ottawa River.
In late March, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories, also called CNL, admitted to dumping toxic waters into the river. The lethality of these waters is already acute, which means that, within four days, they kill half of the fish that swim in them.
We know that many experts have warned about the risks of contamination caused by radioactive substances. Three months later, despite our questions, neither CNL nor the Department of the Environment has revealed which contaminants were involved.
Were they radioactive, yes or no?
