Cheryl Gallant Conservative
“My colleague is wrong about this nuclear waste project. Low-level waste like used gloves and gowns is already buried in the ground. The plan is to move it into safer storage to clean up the land. Other sites like this are safe, natural, and have pure water. We need to stop delaying this project.”
“Mr. Speaker, my dear colleague has mischaracterized what this project is. Those used booties, gloves and gowns are already in the ground. The plan is to take those away from the outdated science that put it in the ground and put it into something safer. This is not Carp mountain, the hill of garbage. I would invite him to go to Cobourg, which has a near-surface disposal facility. It looks like it originally did, under nature. The water is tested. It is pure when it comes out. This is a good way to clean up our land. I would hope that the stalling done to prevent this from going forward moves to the side and allows our land to be remediated.”
