Clean up the G&R dump on Mohawk Land!

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Legault

WHEREAS:

- The Federal Government's own investigation of the G&R facility on Mohawk Land includes medical testimony warning of future health effects on the community.

- Government data and expert analysis proves the presence of toxic chemicals on the site and the absence of any safeguards against leakage, as documented on www.reconciliaction.org

- Kanehsata:ke is the second smallest Indigenous reserve in Quebec and needs all the land it has.

WE THE UNDERSIGNED DEMAND OF PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU AND PREMIER LEGAULT THAT:

- They commit to immediately cleaning up and decontaminating the G&R site.

- They commit to a national policy against Environmental racism.

To: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Premier Legault
From: [Your Name]

Dear Prime Ministers Trudeau and Legault,

We were dismayed to hear from recent Canadian Press coverage of your administration's inaction on the G&R dump.

In particular, we find it appalling that your administration stood idly by and allowed waste from one of Canada's biggest cities to be stored on one of the Province's smallest reserves.

We are further appalled by the fact that your administration effectively withheld information from the Kanehsata:ke community and failed to follow up with the company following your investigation.

These events cast doubt on your sincerity in fulfilling your mandate to help facilitate a better future for Indigenous Peoples.

I would urge you to mandate your office to immediately formulate decontamination plans within a broader environmental racism strategy.

Sincerely,
