A Canadian asbestos group that supported the mining of asbestos in Canada has finally closed its doors.
Amazingly, this group until recently was funded in part by the Government.
Canada still exports white asbestos overseas, mainly to developing countries.
It is a positive step that this organisation has closed its doors. All types of asbestos, including white asbestos, have been found to cause asbestos related conditions such as mesothelioma.
There have been mesothelioma compensation claims in Australia where the Plaintiff suffering mesothelioma alleged they were only ever exposed to white asbestos.
