“I want to know if the changes to pesticide rules will be sent to the health committee. Making it easier to register new pesticides could threaten people's health, so the finance committee should not be the only one studying it.”
Official Hansard

Madam Speaker, I want to specifically drill into what we can expect in an omnibus budget bill in relation to the Pest Control Products Act. The parliamentary secretary referenced that earlier. Will that section of the bill be carved out so that potential health threats through reducing the regulatory process of registering new pesticides, which I am assuming this may be about, will go to the health committee and not just the finance committee?
