Thank you for the question.
As a matter of day-to-day practice, the pesticides regulatory directorate is anchored in the safety of health and environment, and these changes do not change the mandate of our minister. However, they do include provisions, at least in section 4, to ensure that as we run through our review processes, we include consideration of economic and food security at the national and regional levels. It will change things, in that our decisions will be more transparent around how we consider economic considerations in our decision-making process.
