I'm glad you spoke about the PMRA as well, and certainly I would caution the government that it is injecting politics into some of these decisions that should be science-based. For example, on the PMRA, they have now created a politically appointed advisory panel.
Just to quote from part of their mandate, they will insert themselves prior to “evidence-based” decisions on PMRA on pesticides. To me, that is saying that there's going to be a political decision before the science ever comes to fruition.
Do you know any other country that has a similar policy in place?
