Quebec calls off meeting with Blainville mayor on toxic waste dump expansion

The Quebec government is backing out of a meeting with the mayor of Blainville, Que., to discuss the expansion of a hazardous waste dump by American company Stablex, citing the mayor's "change in direction regarding the topics she wanted to address."

The Minister of Natural Resources and Forests Maïté Blanchette Vézina reviewed her decision and cancelled a meeting to be held with the City of Blainville regarding the expansion of a hazardous waste landfill at Stablex.

Quebec cancels its emergency meeting with the Mayor of Blainville about the project to expand Stablex's landfill facilities.

Quebec states that the authorization to expand the hazardous waste dump is "reasonable".
