Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present today. The first was initiated by my constituent, Dr. Chris Keefer, and it relates to Canada's nuclear know-how and a particular CANDU technology, what this represents in terms of Canadian expertise and what it represents in terms of getting us off polluting types of energy forms. The petitioners are talking about the fact that CANDU nuclear power was responsible for 90% of the power that helped the province of Ontario get off coal burning in the last 15 years. The petition asks for the Government of Canada to include CANDU nuclear refurbishments and CANDU newbuild projects within the clean technology investment tax credit. This is an important issue, and I thank Dr. Chris Keefer for raising it.
