Mr. Speaker, the federal government is not content to force us to pay so that Ontario can compete with Hydro-Québec. It goes beyond that.
If Ontario develops its nuclear sector, it will generate more radioactive waste too. What might happen to that waste? Most likely, it will get stored at Chalk River, where it is stored now, on the shores of the main source of drinking water for millions of Quebeckers: the Ottawa River.
The federal government is making us pay hundreds of millions of dollars to put our drinking water at risk. Does the government seriously think we will put up with that?
