ArcelorMittal Fined for Obstruction
ArcelorMittal Exploitation Minière Canada s.e.n.c. has been ordered to pay a $100,000 fine after being convicted of obstructing Environment and Climate Change Canada enforcement officers. This conviction follows an incident at the Mont-Wright mining complex where the company failed to provide necessary compliance documents, violating section 62 of the Fisheries Act. The case underscores the importance of regulatory compliance for mining operations. The company now appears in the Environmental Offenders Registry, which could impact its operational reputation and future regulatory dealings.
