New Muskrat Falls monitoring committee focuses on food, water and methylmercury levels

The head of a new committee tasked with monitoring and health management oversight for Muskrat Falls says he's focused on involving those who know the area best. The government of Newfoundland and Labrador announced last week it has established a Muskrat Falls Monitoring and Health Management Oversight Committee. It's part of a list of recommendations made by the Independent Expert Advisory Committee in 2018 to address concerns related to methylmercury from the controversial hydro-electric project.
