Proceeding contribution from Peter Luff (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 April 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Nuclear Industry.


Nuclear Industry

I do not have a mandate to defend the industry, although it is true that broadly I am sympathetic to it, but I do not understand the relevance of the cost issue. If the market is delivering, the private sector investors bear the problem. As it happens, every one of the Canadian reactors has come in on budget and on schedule. Matters are for the private sector to determine.
