Just ban asbestos and remove the remaining bit of it from Canada this instant! Canada has yet to get a law passed to ban asbestos usage!

Asbestos was banned in the US long before 1990.

It was banned, but it's still being used in some products. And at the time it got banned, people were still allowed to use what they had. For example if a store or company had a lot of asbestos material even though it was banned in 1990, they were still able to use it.
