This is a critical moment for the Quebec asbestos industry. Baljit Chadha, head of the consortium of investors who want to open the Jeffrey mine and exports millions of tons of asbestos to Asia, is presenting its financial plan to the Quebec government. It hopes that its plan will be accepted and that it will now receive the $58 million loan guarantee that the Quebec government has already approved, contingent on seeing their actual financial plan and proof that they have raised $25 million from investors.
