The Hill Times
Recently, in the House of Commons, Liberal MP Marc Serré, parliamentary secretary to the minister of Energy and Natural Resources, said that Canadians want the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission to decide on the licence for the Near Surface Disposal Facility , a giant mound beside the Ottawa River for one million tonnes of radioactive waste. The dump was given the green light for construction last month by the CNSC.
It would also be a good idea for Serré and Wilkinson to review the text of House of Commons ePetition 4,676, which garnered more than 3,000 signatures in 30 days over the recent holiday season. Petitioners are asking the Government of Canada to issue a directive to the CNSC to request an international peer review of the NSDF, and not make any decision on licensing until Canada’s UNDRIP obligations are met.
