Health
During oral questions on health, the Bloc Québécois raised a provision in the omnibus budget bill C-30 that would allow the government, by order in council, to re-authorize pesticides that Health Canada had banned on scientific grounds. The Bloc member called it the biggest setback since the Pest Control Products Act was created in 2002 and asked why the Health Minister was meeting with pesticide companies instead of protecting public health. The Liberal minister replied that Canadians’ health remains the government’s top priority, that the pest and food regulators fall under her department so meeting with affected sectors is part of her job, and that the government also works with the agricultural sector to protect food sovereignty and will never approve any product that endangers people’s lives.Written by AI from the debate.
