Environment committee  We worked with NRCan in our batch testing. A protocol was set up with SNC Lavalin, and all the tests were executed at NRCan facilities in CANMET, Devon, with the assistance of Dr. Hamza. We also had it at the University of Alberta with Dr. Jacob Masliyah, who was twice NSERC chai
