Canada: The Mohawk Council of Kanesatake has written to the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change asking for more consultation over plans for Colacem to build a new cement plant at L'Orignal, Ontario. The council also urged the government to reconsider the plan altogether. The Review newspaper has reported that the government previously rejected a request from the Kanesatake community that it consult the Impact Assessment Authority of Canada over the planned project. The plant is to be situated on the Ottawa River, opposite the area of Quebec in which the Kanesatake community's lands lie.
