Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to present a petition from a number of residents in Ottawa West—Nepean calling on the Government of Canada and on the House of Commons in particular to support the imposition of an immediate ban on the cosmetic use of pesticides until such time as their use can be proven to be safe and without long term harm to the environment, this as consistent with the precautionary principle.
In the House of Commons on May 14th, 2001. See this statement in context.
