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.
