REVERSE THE PESTICIDE BANfrom
http://www.randyhillier.comThe ProblemDalton McGuinty’s Liberal government has banned the cosmetic use of federally approved pesticides. There are 1300 Licensed Lawn care businesses with 21000 employee’s that are facing closure and layoffs due to this legislation.
Randy’s SolutionReverse the province-wide pesticide ban while continuing to allow municipalities to decide what works best for their community.
Background- Health Canada has tested these products and allows for their sale and use.
- The province-wide pesticide ban is based on public pressure not science and is putting people out of work at the worst time. Ontario’s economy is losing tens of thousands of jobs and the governments regulations are only making it worse.
- The provincial economy will lose $1.3 Billion dollars of economic activity.
- The provincial ban over-rules local laws that have already been passed which work best for those municipalities.
- More than 250 pesticide products are banned for sale and use however, they are permitted for use in agriculture and on the food we eat.
- There are no exceptions for pest infestations, yet there are exceptions for sporting events and golf courses. These regulations make no sense. It’s simply the government bending to special interest groups and their propaganda disguised as science.
