Dr. Kellie Leitch Ignores Her Medical Oath: Supports Asbestos

Despite repeated petitions by her peers, Simcoe-Grey MP Dr. Kellie Leitch maintains a buyer beware approach when it comes to Canada exporting asbestos.


"The Canadian government has stated that it supports the safe controlled use of Chrysotile," said Leitch. "It will continue to do so, anything to do with the decision that [buyers] make - that's their choice."
 

More than 300 Canadian and American medical experts signed a letter sent to MP Dr. Kellie Leitch calling on her to oppose any export of asbestos from Canada.
 

"As a medical doctor, you have a professional and ethical duty to put the protection of health ahead of any other consideration," states the letter.
