From Question Period today: Indigenous communities in northern Alberta are calling for action on toxic contamination of the traditional foods. Repeated studies have revealed that rising levels of toxins emitted by oil sands operations are contaminating the Athabasca River and Wood Buffalo National Park, despite the mandatory duty of the federal health minister to act on evidence that toxins may impact health.
All the previous Conservative government did was initiate attacks on a brave doctor who revealed his concerns. Will the current health minister finally act?
