Bruce Power isn’t feeling challenged by the delay of a report in Saskatchewan on the future of the nuclear industry in that province.
The new report is based on the opinions gathered from people at 12 different public meetings on an earlier report that recommends allowing nuclear power plants in the prairie province.
Bruce Power has plans to build a plant in Saskatchewan.
Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Murray Elston, says the earlier report stresses the opportunities Saskatchewan has to move beyond the uranium mining that already exists in the province, and expand the nuclear industry.
Vice President of Corporate Affairs, Murray Elston, says they’ve been anticipating the public consultation report, and a two week delay doesn’t really change the nature of the company’s interests.
Saskatchewan Energy and Resources Minister Bill Boyd says the government wants to consider the report’s findings before making it public.
Elston says when reports are tabled by someone who has done a public consultation, it’s good to see the recipients first taking time to go through it and digest the information.
Dan Perrins, who is in charge of the public consultation process, says his findings will be presented to the Saskatchewan government by Sept. 14.
Originally, that was supposed to happen in late August.
