To spite your face as they say. If it is profitable as a private company it is profitable as a public company. Especially with all the talk around nuclear power in the Tar Sands. And if it is sold off it will still cost taxpayers.
The federal government has approached nuclear energy executives to discuss the future of Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd., including its potential sale.
And this article quotes Energy Probe, the right wing pro-privatization, pro coal lobby, so don't trust them to be objective.

I found this very interest article on how Energy Probe worked with the Harris government in Ontario to try to privatize the whole electricity system.
