Natural Resources committee  As I mentioned earlier, that's one of the things that we will have to demonstrate in these next few months. I can speak for my own plant and obviously Pierre can answer his position, but we do want to do this review and reassure people. If you take our own situation at the Bruc

Natural Resources committee  Again, I can't comment on that. I can tell you the Nuclear Safety and Control Act, subclause 46(3), was amended when I first came here, which was ten years ago, and we lobbied very much to have it changed, because we were the first private sector operator, and we had problems wit

Natural Resources committee  Yes. As I said to you, one of the things that nuclear plants are very capable of doing is shutting down very quickly. We're talking here about seconds to actually take the reactor out of service. With the post-trip cooling, all of this backup cooling equipment is functioning very

Natural Resources committee  Yes. There are very obvious differences in the plant designs. As I mentioned before, these reactors use enriched fuel, which we don't. We use natural uranium fuel. They have a scenario where the water actually boils within the vessel itself, so there it doesn't take a very long p

Natural Resources committee  The reality is that it might, but I can't answer that. Everything we do is based on risk assessment. This quake that hit Japan is a one in 10,000 years quake. That was how it was determined. We can say okay, you've had one. The reality is that the plant withstood the earthquake.

Natural Resources committee  As far as we're concerned, this thing has died on the order paper at least four times. If it was up to me, it would be $650 million now—

Natural Resources committee  —and it would have been some time ago.

Natural Resources committee  The number that was advocated was $650 million. We supported it.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, related to the earthquake and tsunami damage, not the nuclear facility.

Natural Resources committee  I'm not going to speculate on that. Actually the number in Japan is $309 billion. That is the damage to the economy. But none of that has been assigned to the nuclear plant.

Natural Resources committee  I couldn't tell you what it was. I thought it was $1.2 billion.

Natural Resources committee  That's through NEIL insurance, self-insured, yes. Europe's is two billion euros.

Natural Resources committee  Yes, and ours would be $650 million.

Natural Resources committee  It's borne by the Canadian people.

Natural Resources committee  What my industry considers and what I personally consider is that if we wanted to have a conversation about whether $650 million is enough, it would be better to have it when $650 million was already the limit, and not $75 million. So I'd be happy to enter into the discussion. Bu
