The proposed Deep Geological nuclear waste repository is one step closer to being recognized by the federal govenment as a project of national interest.
Dominic LeBlanc, the Minister of Trade and Intergovernmental Affairs today announced the DGR will be published in the Canada Gazette.
That advises the public the federal government is considering listed the project under the Building Canada Act.
Interested parties now have until October 26th to provide their feedback on the project.
Potentially impacted Indigenous communities will also be consulted.
The DGR would be located between the Wabigoon Lake Ojibway Nation and Ignace.
