Given his background as a human rights and democracy advocate, Stephen Clarkson, a professor of political economy at the University of Toronto, said the allegations of a rigged nomination could be problematic for Ignatieff.

 Canadian Asbestos: A Global Concern
The three-day conference entitled Canadian Asbestos: A Global Concern was the first international meeting to be held at which Canadian workers and asbestos victims were free to speak publicly about the damage done by the mining and use of Canadian chrysotile, the agendas and attendance at previous gatherings having been dictated by asbestos stakeholders.
Kyla stated: "The Canadian Government was actually providing American asbestos corporations with a great deal of research on the effects of the dust by the 1930s." It is hardly credible that the Canadian Government would share information with American asbestos companies, whilst denying it to their Canadian competitors.
Although Canadian asbestos stakeholders maintain that chrysotile can be used safely under "controlled conditions," Canada exports more than 95% of all the asbestos it produces; critics suggest that the Canadian principle of "controlled use" is a hypocritical ploy to profit from the export of a substance too hazardous to be used at home.
