It turns out that the Quebec government has a registry of buildings
that contain asbestos, and it will not release this registry to the
public:
"In Quebec, environmental activist Daniel Green has been a vocal
proponent of a registry. He says Quebec has a list of 1,550 buildings
containing asbestos, but won’t allow the public to see it.
“When we asked the government to give us the list [of addresses] they
refused.… the government is telling us, 'We will not tell you of the
asbestos in buildings you own as taxpayers,'” says Green."
On the Federal government side:
"Public Works provided CBC with a list of the buildings it owns
across Canada that contain asbestos. The list was compiled Jan. 20."
Here is the URL for this list:

want to send it around (unions...?)
