Dear Ministers,…

Dear Ministers,

Thank you for the opportunity to speak to you about public safety regarding nuclear power. I understand the power plants in Ontario are old and are being used past their original operational lives. I remember well the devastation caused by Chernobyl and Fukushima and never want to see this happen to my country/province. Also, with Donald Trump in the White House, environmental protection has been radically reduced, so we cannot count on the Americans to take our safety, let alone their own, as a priority over corporate greed.

I urge you to create a public safety plan that is robust and effective. Both Belgium and Germany have been able to come up with recommendations for proper safety measurements and response to nuclear disasters using Fukushima as a "lessons learned" guideline. Please follow their lead and create one for Ontario. Do not assume that something so terrible could never happen here. I and my family depend on you to put our safety first.

Thank you.
