Canada and Agent Orange Study

Agent Orange study expands

Feb 20 2011 - Government officials say Ontario has widened its probe of Agent Orange spraying to include all areas of the province.

The Toronto Star reports that the Ministry of Natural Resources plans to release details of its toxic chemical spraying operations in Ontario next week.

It says a ministry official has confirmed the province is not just looking at Agent Orange sprayed on Northern Ontario land as previously reported, but on all government managed forests on Crown land.
