Mr. Speaker, in the United States decommissioned Zonolite plants are designated EPA super fund sites and full remediation is underway. That is because people who live next to these Zonolite plants are dying of asbestosis.
The Zonolite plant in Winnipeg is right across the street from the largest high school in my riding, yet the federal government has done absolutely nothing to remediate the ten Zonolite plants in ten cities across the country.
Why has the government taken no action about Zonolite? Why is it afraid to admit there is no safe level of asbestos? Why is it not cleaning up these hazardous sites?
