We hear lots of talk about harmonizing pesticides regulations. Some farmers in my riding say that the price of pesticides has not come down despite the increase in value of the Canadian dollar. If I remember correctly, 10 litres of pesticides cost $115 three years ago and should cost $80 to $85 today but the price is $125. Considering the increase in value of the Canadian dollar, farmers are wondering why the price of pesticides has not come down.
