ST. JOHN S, N.L. Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey says he rejected an idea last summer from former prime minister Jean Chretien to store international nuclear waste in Labrador. Furey said in a statement Thursday Chretien mentioned the plan during a phone call last summer when Furey was running for leader of the provincial Liberals to replace former premier Dwight Ball. I made it clear it was not something I would pursue, Furey said in the statement. That will absolutely not happen; not on my watch. Federal Natural Resources Minister Seamus O Regan was equally emphatic: Importing nuclear waste from other countries to Labrador where I grew up or any other part of Canada has never been on the table, nor is it now, he said in a separate statement on Thursday.
Zero possibility of nuclear waste stored in Labrador, says Furey
