Hello.
We oppose the amendments because the classification of pesticides is a complex undertaking and the Ontario process has different criteria and context than the federal process. The review process undertaken federally at the PMRA is sorely lacking, in that it examines pesitixides without a consideration of cumulative effects, its evaluations are not based on data that is current or that adheres to levels of scientific integrity (such as transparency and no appearance of a conflict of interest or "ghost writing"). I does not carry out a robust health or environmental assessment either.
It is also an abandonment of jurisdiction on the part of Ontario with respect to the health of Ontarians.
