Madam Speaker, we are saying no to the Chalk River nuclear waste dump. The federal government cannot condone burying nuclear waste on the banks of the Ottawa River, a source of drinking water for millions of Quebeckers. The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission did not listen to Quebeckers. The Montreal metropolitan area and its 82 cities are against the project, as is the City of Gatineau. These two entities represent 4.5 million people, half the population of Quebec. Given that there is no social licence for the Chalk River Project, will the minister reverse the decision?
