The opposition is giving little faith to a Government's established panel that will examine the use of Agent Orange in Ontario during the 1950's, '60's and '70's.
NDP Critic Gilles Bisson told the Legislature yesterday an independent third-party investigation would ensure the truth of the chemical use is told.
"The process you are currently establishing to investigate the use of Agent Orange has the very people who used the Agent Orange and are still using some form of defoliant in charge of the investigation," says Bisson. "Why will you not now agree that we need to have an independent third party investigate this matter?"
Natural Resources Minister Linda Jefferey feels the concerns are premature because members of the committee have not been selected.
