                    [Summary] => NEW YORK — President Arroyo has secured no less than the official commitment of Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chretien to require a Canadian mining firm to clean up the environmental mess it left behind in Marinduque.


Before she flew back to Manila, the President told reporters here that one of the most concrete results of her two-day state visit to Canada was Chretien’s assurance that Canadian government agencies would help facilitate the clean-up of mine tailings that spilled from the ponds of Marcopper in the early 1990s.
