Premier Dalton McGuinty is trying to reassure retired government forestry workers.
It comes after a report that says they may have been exposed to the cancer causing chemical Agent Orange during their work years.
McGuinty says the government is interested in getting information.
"If anybody feels their health has been compromised as a result of working with that particular compound, it's something we no longer use obviously," says McGuinty, "they should contact the MNR so we can begin to build up a data bank and assess what we're looking at here."
Speaking in Thunder Bay, the Premier says he was only recently made aware of the issue.
