‘I could get myself in a lot of trouble for this’

Two Conservative MPs call for an end to asbestos mining.

Conservative MP Dona Cadman of British Columbia told Canwest News Service Thursday she would love to see asbestos mining operations in Quebec shut down, adding “I could get myself in a lot of trouble for this.”

Ontario Conservative MP Pat Davidson told the Sarnia Observer last week — after the Canadian Medical Association called for a ban on asbestos use and exports — that “I’m definitely not supporting the mining or exporting of asbestos.”
