Environment committee  Maybe I will start, and others can jump in afterwards. I believe it is managed extremely well. We have the best international practices here, and as I said earlier, our track record speaks for itself.

Environment committee  Again, maybe I'll start and my colleagues will want to join in. There is genuine, real fear. A lot has to do with waste and how the public media may have presented waste. You just need to look at The Simpsons, and you see these cans with green oozy stuff coming out of them. Som

Environment committee  Thank you very much for that question. I will start and then I'll get Mr. Jammal to add to it. Maybe I'll just start with SMRs since your question began with that. You know that OPG has made a decision on building an SMR at the Darlington site. This is going to be the first gri

Environment committee  Ms. Taylor Roy, maybe I can give you the regulator's perspective on this. As you have heard many times, the used fuel waste is stored safely and can be stored in the same manner for decades while the NWMO restarts its process to find a willing host community. From a regulator's

Environment committee  Maybe I will start and Ms. Johnson can go after. We are constantly learning. Certainly around reconciliation, it's a journey. I know the next time around we will maybe start a lot earlier, engage much further and just be better partners in this and have stronger relationships th

Environment committee  Ms. Collins, that audit is under way. As you know, the CNSC is one of the three parties that's being reviewed. The audit's scope does not look at the commission proceedings side of things, whether it's around a hearing process or the decision-making process. The focus is very mu

Environment committee  If the question is on whether, if this particular application is accepted or denied, that means any other nuclear service disposal facility—

Environment committee  No. Each application is assessed on its own merit.

Environment committee  When it comes to imported waste, from the CNSC's perspective we make no distinction on whether the waste is domestic or imported. It just needs to be managed safely. The question around a decision on whether the import of radioactive waste should be allowed is more of a policy

Environment committee  Maybe I'll turn to Mr. Jammal to give you a detailed response to that.

Environment committee  Mr. Mazier, the transportation has an impeccable record in over 60 years of transportation. As Mr. Jammal just said, globally there's over 10 million packages a year, and in Canada over a million a year. There has not been an incident that has impacted the environment or the safe

Environment committee  Zero.

Environment committee  It's not a question that I can answer. Maybe Ms. Johnson can answer that. It's not something the regulator has knowledge on.

Environment committee  If it's waste criteria you're asking about, those are in our regulatory documents. We specify what the classification is. It's consistent with international standards, and that is public. Again, Madame Pauzé, I'm sorry but I'm not quite sure what exact issue you are raising. I w

Environment committee  While, as you've rightfully identified, this is a matter in front of the commission, it would not be appropriate for me to give you details of the particular application.
