Eagle Lake First Nation is challenging the location of a proposed deep geological repository for Canada's nuclear waste in Federal Court, arguing that it should have had a say in the decision as the site falls within its territory.
A First Nation in northern Ontario is challenging the selection of a nearby region as the site of a deep geological repository that will hold Canada 's nuclear waste , arguing in a court filing that it should have had a say in the matter as the site falls"squarely" within its territory.
