Hon. Anne McLellan (Minister of Natural Resources, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 109 I have the honour to table, in both official languages, the government's response to the second report of the Standing Committee on Natural Resources entitled "Canada: A Model Forest Nation in the Making".

Hon. Anne McLellan (Minister of Natural Resources, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, in response to (a), tritium emissions from the waste site at Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's Chalk River plant do migrate to some degree within a radius of50 kilometres of the plant. However, tritium emission limits are set so that hypothetical doses to the public are always well below the regulatory limits set by the Atomic Energy Control Board. In practice, nuclear facilities do not operate anywhere near their emission limits and Atomic Energy of Canada Limited's Chalk River plant is no exception. The tritium releases from the plant are well below the regulatory limits.
In response to (b), local drinking water is monitored for tritium and the levels observed, being very much less than regulatory limits for the public, are considered safe. Daily samplings are collected at the Pembroke main water supply intake and these are measured monthly to confirm that releases are a small fraction of the regulatory limits.
In response to (c), yes, the radioactive waste disposal site is safely insulated. It is located well inside the plant boundary and is not accessible to the public. The releases of tritium from this site are well below the regulatory limit.
In response to (d), the radioactive waste site is safe and poses no undue risk to humans.

Hon. Anne McLellan (Minister of Natural Resources, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, yes, 40,000 becquerels per litre is the regulated standard for drinking water and corresponds to 10 per cent of the legal public dose limit of 5 millisieverts per year. Even if a person's water supply through a whole year were to be at 40,000 becquerels per litre, the radiation dose to that individual would be less than the current dose limit for members of the public. It would also be below the reduced limit that is recommended by international authorities.

Hon. Anne McLellan (Minister of Natural Resources, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, let me explain to the hon. member the process by which that decision was taken. It was a decision of the Hibernia management board. That board is one on which the federal government has one representative out of five. That is by virtue of our 8.5 per cent equity interest in the Hibernia project.
The federal government does not have the intention of micromanaging projects like Hibernia. The decision was a day to day management decision taken by a properly authorized board.

Hon. Anne McLellan (Minister of Natural Resources, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, let me reiterate that the federal government has no intention of involving itself in the day to day management of the Hibernia project.
However, if my hon. friend would like to discuss with the Hibernia management consortium the reasons for its decision in relation to moving part of that contract, not the entire $35 million contract, to the Saint John shipyard, I will be happy to provide him with a name after question period.
