The report contends that the extent of the lead paint problem in Canada isn't known but there are strong indications that it is pervasive. Nearly a quarter of Canada's children live in the approximately three million homes built before 1960, when the use of lead paint was more widespread. In 1976, Ottawa prohibited paint containing more than 0.5-per-cent lead.
