Mr. Speaker, that is nonsense.
We lost over 25% of our bees last winter. In Quebec alone, losses have doubled in the past 10 years. All of our crops rely on pollination. The problem is that bee populations are shrinking at an alarming rate in North America.
The United States has a plan. The European Union has banned insecticides and pesticides. Even Ontario has reduced the use of those products.
My question is simple: Where is the government's plan to protect the health of our bees?
