Minister calls for national probe of agent orange

“I am recommending that your department contact other provincial and territorial governments to determine if this herbicide was also used within their jurisdictions,” Natural Resources Minister Linda Jeffrey said in a letter Monday to federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq.
