Saskatchewan buildings with asbestos may not make public registry: NDP
Saskatchewan residents will now know what public buildings in the province have asbestos, but the list might not be complete.
The legislative building and courthouses are some examples of buildings that will appear on a list the government of Saskatchewan will make public online. But the government has left it up to school divisions, health regions and others to decide whether to be a part of the registry.
The NDP is supportive of the move, but maintains it doesn't go far enough. It was their party that introduced the Asbestos Right to Know Act last week in the legislature.
NDP MLA Cam Broten argues the registry as the government has designed it won't be comprehensive.
