Participant Funding Program decision – CNSC staff meeting with the Nuclear Transparency Project in relation to Ontario Power Generation's consolidated financial guarantee

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) is offering funding to the Nuclear Transparency Project (NTP) to assist with participating in a meeting with CNSC staff to discuss Ontario Power Generation’s consolidated financial guarantee.

The information gathered from these meetings and activities will be included in relevant Commission member documents so that any valuable information gathered can be brought directly to the Commission.

Background

The CNSC made PFP support available to:

• enhance Indigenous and stakeholder participation in the CNSC’s environmental assessment and licensing processes
• help Indigenous Nations and communities, members of the public and stakeholders bring valuable information to the Commission

A funding review committee (FRC), independent of the CNSC, was established to review the funding application received by the CNSC’s PFP administrator and to make recommendations on the allocation of funding to the applicant.

The FRC members were:

• Yves Leboeuf, retired vice-president of operations, Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency   
• Bruce Young, retired director, Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency
• James Taylor, retired senior advisor, Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada

The FRC reviewed the PFP application that was received by the CNSC.
