No uranium mining in N.B.!

The NDP in Nova Scotia are fighting to get uranium banned permanently in that province. We must do the same in New Brunswick. We've seen public opinion work in Bali - let's do it here!

Halifax - NDP Environment Critic, Graham Steele, will introduce legislation this evening in the House of Assembly that, if passed, would place a permanent ban on uranium mining in Nova Scotia.
"There hasn't been uranium exploration or mining in Nova Scotia since the early-1980's," says Steele. "Our mining sector, which continues to be important to the provincial economy, has been able to carry on quite nicely without it. But the ban on uranium mining has never been legislated, and recently the Minister of Natural Resources said that he was open to the idea of lifting the moratorium."
The ban on uranium mining was first introduced by the Buchanan government in 1982, which also set up a Commission of Inquiry headed by Judge Robert McCleave. The ban was continued by successive Orders in Council, the last one in 1995, but its current legal status is unclear. The NDP Bill would remove any doubt about the legal validity of the ban.
"The safety of uranium mining has always been controversial, but that is not the main reason to legislate the moratorium," says Steele. "The most important reason for legislating the ban is that the principal use for uranium is in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons."
"A legislated ban on uranium mining is widely supported by environmental groups across the province," says Steele. "We believe that the vast majority of Nova Scotians do not wish to be part of the world's uranium economy."
