Natural Resources committee  Of course, and I'm listening to you religiously.

Natural Resources committee  As you saw in my presentation, which I was unfortunately unable to finish, we have no nuclear waste management policy. That's serious. In Bécancour, it's stored in silos. When the Ontario government owned nuclear power stations, it made a commitment not to change the situation until 2043.

Natural Resources committee  Third, that policy will have to clarify Canada's policy on the terms of acceptance governing the transportation of waste... Fourth, that policy will have to clarify Canada's official policy on the radioactive contamination of global scrap stocks as a result of their deliberate or accidental mixing with radioactive waste.

Natural Resources committee  —Seaway to transport radioactive waste or that has been rebuilt—

Natural Resources committee  —on whether it is acceptable to use the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence—

Natural Resources committee  Yes, but I heard that we had 10 minutes for our address. Since I only have seven minutes left, I have to pick up the pace.

Natural Resources committee  Oh, all right. In the case before us, the metals contaminated by radioactivity from Bruce Power would be transiting through Quebec on their way to Sweden. This explains our involvement in the Bruce Power plan and our decision to attend today's hearing and that organized by the CNSC where we were also represented.

Natural Resources committee  In Quebec, our organization is mainly opposed to the non-essential transportation of radioactive waste or material contaminated by radioactivity resulting from the dismantling, rebuilding or ongoing operation of nuclear reactors. In the case before us—

Natural Resources committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Thanks to all committee members. On behalf of my colleagues at the Regroupement des municipalités du Québec pour un futur énergétique socialement responsable, I want to thank you for the invitation to come and testify before your committee today on Bruce Power's plan to import and export radioactive waste.
