Ban Asbestos

Asbestos is a known carcinogen that has been banned in many countries throughout the world. It has claimed the lives of countless Canadians and continues to be one of the leading causes of workplace related deaths in this country. We spend millions of dollars each year to remove asbestos from old buildings because of the danger it poses.

In spite of the proven dangers, the federal government actively supports the export of this deadly material to developing countries. There is no excuse for this deadly trade.

Bill C-399, introduced by Nathan in June 2009, would ban the mining and export of asbestos while helping the workers of the last operational mine transition into a healthier economic opportunity.
