In Court
Agent Orange in Canada: A class action lawsuit has been filed in Ottawa, Canada, by people who claim they were exposed to Agent Orange and other chemicals that were tested in the 1960s at a Canadian Forces base in New Brunswick. The petitioners say they suffered serious health problems due to the spraying and seek punitive and aggravated damages, although they don't quote a specific amount. Though the claims have not been proven in a court, the government has acknowledged the spraying.
"20 years ago, the federal government first acknowledged there was spraying of Agent Orange on Gagetown and they said they would follow-up, but that was put on the back burner
