Pulp mills that used the mercury cell process operated in Thunder Bay, Hamilton and Saskatoon. Potentially over a million Canadians might have been exposed to levels of mercury that Health Canada considers safe.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1867798\" data-originallang=\"en\">Will the <a data-HoCid=\"128707\" href=\"/politicians/leona-aglukkaq/\" title=\"Leona Aglukkaq\">health minister</a> demand that Health Canada change its guidelines? Will the minister initiate a study of the health of those who have been exposed to this mercury pollution?</p>",
