Health Canada's Great Lakes Health Effects Program prepared an analysis of health statistics for each of the Canadian AOCs that "may be linked to exposure to environmental contaminants." While not directly making a cause and effect link, each report stated what kinds of chemicals are known to result in particular health problems. The Health Canada reports were printed and ready for release by November 1998. The government, however, withheld them and they weren't released until almost a year later in October 1999. This was only because the government was forced to after community activists gained access to them and gave them to a news reporter. The Health Canada release was brief and they were quickly removed from the web and buried again. Shortly thereafter, Health Canada closed down its ground-breaking Great Lakes Health Effects Program. This document compiles reports for: Collingwood Harbour, Detroit River, Severn Sound, Spanish Harbour, St. Clair River and Wheatley Harbour.
