Health

During oral questions on health, the topic was a part of the government’s economic update bill (Bill C-30) dealing with pesticide regulation, which would let the government allow a pest control product’s use for emergencies on grounds like economic or food security even after the Health Minister has decided its environmental risks are unacceptable. Elizabeth May of the Green Party said this division would amount to the largest rollback of health and environmental protection in pesticide regulation in Canada’s history, said the industry had not asked for it, and asked the Prime Minister to explain why the government was doing it. Health Minister Marjorie Michel replied that protecting Canadians’ health and safety is the government’s priority, and that it can do so while also working closely with the agricultural sector on growing the economy and food production.Written by AI from the debate.
