Motion to Stop Asbestos Mining in Quebec is Denied | Institut Hartheim

Recent legislation introduced to Quebec that attempts to block financing that would reopen the province’s only asbestos mine has been denied, according to a recent Montreal Gazette report.
Lisette Lapointe, an independent who serves in Quebec legislature and is also the wife of former Parti Qu�b�cois premier Jacques Parizeau, introduced the motion yesterday, calling for Quebec to withdraw its offer to provide $58 million in financing to Balcorp Ltd. of Montreal. Of that funding, $25 million would be allocated to reopening the Jeffrey Mine located in the town of Asbestos.
