Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Hawthorne and Ms. Carpenter.
As my colleague was saying, given what has just happened in Japan, it is almost impossible to avoid the issue of security. We are discussing security in terms of management, operations and storage. Many questions are being raised. We speak for the people raising them. That is more or less what we would like to know.
Mr. Hawthorne, I would like some clarification from you. What does Bruce Power do in a nuclear power plant? Is the owner, the manager or the builder? What is Bruce Power's role? What is its status?

You manage it.
Ms. Carpenter was saying earlier that there are almost no emissions into the environment and that they themselves largely take care of the storage and management of the tiny amount of spent fuel.
The generators we are talking about are enormous—given the other waste, I imagine. How is it currently stored on your site? Is it regulated by the government? Is it stored in a special way? Is it safe?

So your activities are regulated. You comply with government regulations.
Are the storage methods ones that you decide to use when you lease the facility? Do you make a commitment to store spent fuel in a particular way in advance when you become the lessee?

Let's discuss operating costs. Ms. Carpenter was telling us that the storage of waste, the residue of the combustion process, is taken into account in the operating costs of the plant. Probably, at the end of the day, the customer pays. In your case, are the storage costs for all of these generators actually calculated into the operating costs?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Carrière, for the presentation you made with so much feeling.
You were right to point out that the CBC originated from the need of English Canadians to distinguish themselves from the United States and protect themselves, culturally, from the invasion of American culture. If I am not mistaken, that need, among English Canadians, is probably 100 times stronger for you. You are completely isolated. You need to protect yourselves from anglophone culture if it becomes too invasive.

That wasn't the case until today. Isn't that right?
You also talked about marriages...

Exogamous marriages. I wasn't familiar with the word.
First, we certainly can't prevent marriage.

We can't prevent the heart from loving. If someone falls in love with an anglophone, that is who they're going to marry.

That being said, obviously in situation where people are in the minority and they marry people from the majority, if the children have one language to learn, it will be the majority language. Assimilation will take place in one or two generations. Even Jean Chrétien acknowledged that assimilation of francophones was inevitable in the long term.
So what do you propose to do with these marriages? We can't prevent them.

You also explained that you lived in a low-lying area. Well, not you personally.

My question is technical. How is it that the radio waves from the other stations, like the anglophone radio station or the one from Quebec, can reach where you are while the ones from Radio-Canada, which should cover you, don't get there? Is it badly located?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
I want to thank you very much for your presentation, Mr. Morrison. I am absolutely amazed by your frankness and the precision of your answers. It is very well articulated, very precise.
This is the first time I have met you and heard about your group. I would like you to tell me where you come from, what prompted you to join this group and what your duties are within the group. Were you the founder, the organizer, or are you one of the members?
