CNSC Participant Funding Program decision - CNSC staff meeting with Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) to discuss the MNO-CNSC terms of reference

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CNSC) offered funding under its Participant Funding Program (PFP) to facilitate a meeting on October 24, 2019, between Métis Nation of Ontario (MNO) and CNSC staff. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the MNO-CNSC terms of reference.

The information gathered from the meeting will be included in a relevant Commission member document and presented 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 peoples, the public and stakeholders bring valuable information to the Commission

A Funding Review Committee (FRC), independent from 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 member was Steve Burgess, retired Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency Director.

The CNSC received one PFP application and this was reviewed by the FRC, requesting a total of $2,239.29.

Eligibility and funding criteria
