Thus Canada will be in a very strong negotiating position. Our competitive advantages have prompted others to rate our chances at 60% Key: No need to transport tritium - a risk no other site could reasonably assure 2. Canada as “compromise” between strong EU & Japanese desires Without Canada picking up the host share, any other site would be much more costly for Parties Thus Canada will be in a very strong negotiating position. Also: Attractive socio-economic/cultural attractions of Toronto area Excellent engineering site characteristics Favourable licensing environment 7. Greater likelihood of US re-entry
