 Drinking water in all Quebec schools will be tested for lead

The drinking water in all public and private schools across Quebec will be tested for lead, Education Minister Jean-François Roberge said. Roberge ordered the tests as a precaution after La Presse reported that four elementary schools had lead levels in their water that surpassed levels recommended by Health Canada. Water samples were collected in 24 Montreal schools and were analyzed by the chemistry department at the Université de Montréal.
