What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Members of the Senate Agriculture Committee are reviewing proposed amendments to Bill C-31 concerning how Health Canada reviews registered pesticides. Currently, Health Canada is required to conduct a mandatory re-evaluation of every registered pesticide every 15 years. The proposed amendment would give regulators greater discretion, allowing reviews only if there is a significant increase in a product's health or environmental risk.
