Mr. Speaker, a recent article and detailed study in Canada's National Observer pointed out that the Pest Management Regulatory Agency worked hand in glove with the pesticide manufacturer Bayer to stop the impending ban of dangerous neonicotinoid insecticides posing threats to human health and the environment.
My question is simple: Will the government ban these insecticides and do an investigation to stop having our Pest Management Regulatory Agency defend manufacturers and start defending Canadians?
