Canada's two asbestos mines have shut down production and an NDP motion on abestos has revealed cracks in Conservative Party 'unity'
Is this the beginning of the end of the asbestos industry in Canada?
The Conservative asbestos abstainers are: Pat Davidson (Sarnia-Lambton), Royal Galipeau (Ottawa-Orleans), Jim Hillyer (Lethbridge), Ed Holder (London West) and James Rajotte (Edmonton-Leduc). Mark Strahl, Conservative MP for Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon, (whose father former MP Churck Strahl has abestos-related lung cancer) was absent for the vote.
