I call on PM Harper and the Canadian Government to:

Ban Canada's production and export of deadly asbestos.

Institute a just transition program for the 500 remaining asbestos workers and the communities they live in.

Send the following letter of support to your MP by checking the box below and signing the petition.

Dear (Your MP's Name Here),

I just signed a petition calling for an end to Canada’s production and export of asbestos. I urge you to sign it, and commit to supporting a ban on asbestos today:

Asbestos kills 100,000 people every year by cancer and other deadly lung diseases. It is banned in 52 countries, including the European Union. The Canadian government has even removed it from parliament and the Prime Minister’s home. So why is Canada still a leading exporter of asbestos to developing countries?

I call on PM Harper and the Canadian Government to:

• Ban Canada's production and export of deadly asbestos.
• Institute a just transition program for the 500 remaining asbestos workers and the communities they live in.

Please sign the politician's pledge and work to end this unethical policy of producing and exporting a deadly substance.

Sincerely,
Your information will be added here.
