Ontario Power Generation relied too much on the support of Kincardine town council when the company decided to bury nuclear waste near the town, First Nations representatives told a federal panel Wednesday.
“To this point I must be absolutely clear,” Chief Randall Kahgee of the Saugeen Ojibway Nations (SON) told the panel.
“Kincardine cannot speak for us or our territory in these matters. We must speak for ourselves, and this must be recognized not only by OPG, but by governments as well.”
