A British scientist by the name of Trevor Ogden claims that the Ottawa government attempted to conceal reports about the health hazards associated with asbestos.  The report was completed by a panel of experts including Mr. Ogden in March 2008 but it was only made available more than a year after.  The report endangers Ottawa’s asbestos industry since it affirms that asbestos causes mesothelioma. Included in the report is the common contamination of chrysotile asbestos with tremolite fibers which also caused hundreds of casualties in Libby, Montana where it affected their vermiculite ore.
