Comment period has been extended to Wednesday, July 22!

The federal government is proposing changes that would change the regulatory process for major projects. The review of nuclear projects would be conducted by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission. (The proposal discussion paper)

There are a number of flaws with this proposal. VISIT NUCLEAR WASTE WASTE WATCH TO LEARN MORE AND HOW TO TAKE ACTION. From their webpage:

"Decisions about nuclear projects must be based on sound information that has been examined and tested by the public, independent experts and an independent review panel. Social concerns, protection of public health and the environment, and economic value must all be considered."

Currently the review of the Deep Geological Repository is an integrated review by the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada and the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.
