Mr. Speaker, for the first time in 130 years, Quebec's asbestos mines are closed.
A majority of Quebec's civil society is now against public funding of the industry and against the export of asbestos.
Just when circumstances finally allow us to resolve the situation, the government is aggravating it by eliminating tariff barriers with India.
We have already exported enough disease to countries with inadequate standards.
Will this government finally bring in a transition plan to guarantee a future for the asbestos regions? Please, out of respect for those who no longer have jobs, will the Conservatives stop the broken record?
