The Ontario government is cracking down on a chemical plant after dozens of people in a First Nation became sick this week. Extremely high levels of the cancer-causing chemical benzene were detected in Aamjiwnaang First Nation, south of Sarnia. People there have been exposed to high levels of dangerous pollutants for years. Now, in response to growing public concerns over the spike in benzene readings, the province says it is taking action. But as Global News chief investigative correspondent Carolyn Jarvis reports, the people of Aamjiwnaang have little hope it will amount of change.
