Mr. Speaker, it is not an ideological position. We approach this way for every kind of energy source: For the dollar invested, how much carbon is reduced, how many jobs are created, and how long does it take from the decision that has been made until we see the energy produced? The reality is, on that measurement, that the top-notch winner is energy efficiency, then renewables. Nuclear is at the bottom of the pile.
One last thing is this: With the nuclear proponents right now, it is like a witness protection program. They changed the name, but it is SNC-Lavalin behind every SMR proposal. Its name is now AtkinsRéalis, and it stays under the screen that it is the biggest shareholder in Canadian nuclear laboratories, which makes it sound legit. It is a scam.
