Liberal on Health 2026-06-08

85 words · 4 sentences · 7 clauses

Replying to Maxime Blanchette-Joncas (Bloc Québécois)

“Mr. Speaker, the Liberals are hiding a measure in Bill C‑30 that allows pesticides banned for scientific reasons to be re-authorized. This is the biggest setback since the Pest Control Products Act was created in 2002. Not only is the Minister of Health not upset about this, she even boasted that she was the only minister to ever attend a CropLife Canada event. CropLife Canada is an association of agrochemical companies that includes the pesticide giant Bayer. Why is the Minister of Health standing up for the profits of multinationals instead of standing up for public health?”
