Eight Quebec companies can exceed pollution norms

Quebec’s Environment Department has released a list of eight companies that have the right to exceed provincial norms when it comes to water or air emissions.

Environment Minister Benoit Charette announced earlier this month that the Swiss-owned smelter would have to reduce those emissions to five times the provincial norm by 2027, but he had been been facing pressure to unveil the list of all the companies that are allowed to exceed pollution limits. They cite mining giant Rio Tinto Alcan as an example of a company on the list that does not surpass the limits, but officials did not provide a breakdown for the others.

The Environment Department clarified to say those 89 companies are bound by ministerial agreements that set out the environmental conditions under which they operate, but those agreements don’t necessarily allow the companies to exceed legal limits.
