What does “going ahead with a phase-out” mean? If I'm a farmer using these pesticides, what exactly does that mean? What other options would I have if I want to continue to use something similar? What would that look like? I know that Canadians are asking questions. They're really concerned about the health of our planet and they're concerned about the protection of waterways.
I think this touches everybody. When we have people in Montreal and Vancouver banning neonics, everybody is touched by this, but if I'm a farmer, what does it mean for me when the government goes ahead and phases out neonics?
