59119 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: What advice, if any, does the Minister have for potentially affected families if they cannot afford the upfront cost of upwards of $3000 for testing an entire home for the presence of asbestos from consumer sand products?

Hon Scott Simpson: Families who cannot afford the upfront cost of testing should first contact the supplier to discuss options. Suppliers may choose to cover these costs voluntarily, either upfront or through reimbursement.
