The threat of terrorist or criminal use of nuclear, biological and chemical(NBC) weapons in Canada is considered low; however, the potential consequences of such an event could be so significant that national capabilities may be called upon to support local responders.

Cependant, si cela se produisait, les conséquences d'un tel acte seraient si graves qu'il serait peut-être nécessaire de faire appel aux ressources nationales pour porter main-forte aux intervenants locaux. Bien que nos efforts doivent être axés sur la prévention, la prudence exige que les collectivités locales se dotent de la capacité nécessaire pour réagir aux conséquences d'un acte terroriste perpétré au moyen d'une arme nucléaire, biologique ou chimique. 1, record 14, French, - terrorisme%20nucl%C3%A9aire%2C%20biologique%20et%20chimique
