I wish to address the repeal…

I wish to address the repeal propsed in section 5. The environmental toxins that have been banned in 2009 have been a critical and Canada leading change in horticulture which has assisted in us avoiding some of the expensive and lengthy court battles occuring in the states regarding workplace safety, good heath, and environmental damage. As a horticultural business owner I can guarantee you that in my experience customers are prone to looking for quick solutions that actually cause greater damage to property and health over the longterm. The Ontario changes aiming for total elimination of these toxins by 2021 aid customer decisions and have been an essential component in ultimately reclaiming our farming diversity and meeting certain health standards that are now under contention where accountants may think there is greater competition. If you wait this one out, You, the Ontario Conservative Government can be deemed a leader and innovator in management allowing the horticultural market to continue its strategies towards a non toxic free market. By repealing this, you will be paradoxically interfering with this free market strategizing which I know you do not support. And, unfortunately, the Canadian Federal government has been unhelpful with this type of regulation as it is deemed a provincial responsibility. You cannot and should not pass the buck to a federal government that has very little action in its policy making.

Thank you,
Toronto business owner and entrepreneur.
