In Canada, Quebec's Minister of Industry recommended the province of workplace safety committee should conduct an annual audit of the safe use of asbestos in other countries. This recommendation is a response to opposition to reopening Jeffrey mine in Asbestos, south of Quebec City.

reopening the mine will create, 250 jobs and increase capacity by 10 percent asbestos, the entire svijetu.Mina closed in 2002. However, many opponents do not want that again, because when in operation, it produced asbestos that is exported to other countries. Asbestos has been shown to cause mesothelioma, a deadly lung cancer and other serious heath problems.

According to the minister, the Quebec-produced asbestos or chrysotite, is much safer than other types of asbestos used in the export market, in accordance with Chrysotite institute headquartered in Canada. Non-friable asbestos can not be torn down, meaning they contain friable asbestos material (ACM) contains less than one percent asbestos and when dry, can be dissolved or broken up, says the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). According to many, non-friable asbestos is still very uncertain, although it is assumed to be much safer. Many officials support Chrysotite Institute's requirements.

According to many medical experts, mesothelioma is one of the deadliest forms of cancer, and there is currently no cure.

Jeong-Rim Lee, a woman from Korea, is suffering from mesothelioma and says that she experiences a lot of pain and suffering. She would like Canada to stop sending asbestos in your home country. Symptoms include shortness of breath, abdominal pain, and chest pain. However, these are just some of the symptoms, there are many more. Also, since it can take up to 30 years to fully develop mesothelioma, many sufferers are diagnosed with pneumonia or other diseases in their early stages. Often times, when the correct diagnosis is made, it was too late.
