I have been watching news clips about the scandal over Agent Orange being sprayed at the Gagetown military base in New Brunswick, but I haven't come across any real claims that there is significantly higher cancer rates in that area. I have heard a host of local people saying that they know of a lot of people who have died or suffer from cancer, which they now blame on Agent Orange.

But using statistics from the Canadian Cancer Society, it belies their claim that NB is suffering a rash of abuse from cancer. The CCS states that 149 000 people will have cancer in 2005, with New Brunswick's share being 3950, or 2.65%. NB's share of Canada's total population is 2.43%.

Can someone point out a scientific study on cancer rates in the Gagetown area, if one exists?
