Mr. Speaker, today the environment committee released its report on pesticides that will take Canada back to the dirty thirties.
This report calls for, among other things, a full phase-out of pest control products in Canada. The fact is that the committee report is 40 years too late. Stakeholders have been taking proactive measures for years to make sound science, health and safety the first priorities in pest control product development and use.
Why is the government considering this recommendation when there is no scientific evidence to support it?
