There's a multi-billion-dollar liability in your buildings alone that I don't believe you have budgeted for to make these buildings safe again. No human being should be exposed to a single fibre of asbestos ever, and our buildings are littered with them.
The threshold that Health Canada recognizes, of 0.1 fibre per cubic centimetre, doesn't even apply on Parliament Hill because we're a labour-code-free zone. Part III of the Canada Labour Code was never given royal assent, so it doesn't apply to these buildings. We have no confidence that we're not exposed to 10 parts per cubic centimetre.
You have to get this asbestos out of these buildings. It's your job, even though you represent the asbestos mines in Quebec. Your bias shouldn't put public servants at risk, or myself and my staff. Your prejudice, your boosterism of the asbestos industry, is putting us at risk.
