Canada passes Bill C-30, gives cabinet power to authorize banned pesticides

Despite Elizabeth May’s relentless fight to stop it, the Liberal government is bulldozing Bill C-30 through, hiding the single largest rollback of pesticide regulations in Canadian history inside it. Today, the Liberal government is selling out Canadians’ health and safety.

Government just prematurely ended debate on Bill C-22 The federal government decided to use a so-called “guillotine” time-limit all further clause by clause on Bill C-22 to just 30 minutes.1 This will block ANY committee debate that scrutinizes the dangerous surveillance powers in Part 2 of the […]

Canadians are not upset enough with what the Liberals pulled yesterday with Bill C-22. Giving the public safety committee 30 minutes to finish clause-by-clause consideration...with zero debate.

Carney's gLib cabinet can now allow use of harmful pesticides, overriding science. People's health & the environment take a back seat. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Why is Canada's *health* minister so chummy with the pesticide industry? The Carney government cozies up to pesticide producers while locking scientists and public health and environmental experts out of the process. This is what government capture looks like. #CdnPoli

As an Independent Senator, I’m speaking today on Bill C-30. It would let Cabinet override Health Canada’s scientists on pesticide safety, keeping a product in use even after experts find unacceptable risks. Science, not economics, should guide these decisions. 📺 www.cpac.ca/headline-pol...

PIPSC is deeply concerned about the passage of Bill C-30 in the House of Commons. Buried in the bill are sweeping new powers that would allow the government to exempt companies, products, and activities from food safety laws and regulations – with almost zero transparency. #CdnPoli

CW: 🇨🇦Pol Word on the street is that Bill C-22, the Canadian Liberal Party's hallucination of a security bill, is being pushed to a 30 minute review before it goes to vote. This bill as-is seems to be oriented towards defeating encryption through mandate of a backdoor for the government, so stupid.

Well isn't this great. Mark Carney and his Conliberal yes-chuds just delivered us some sparkly new future birth defects and environmental contamination. Are we progressing yet? :/ #CDNpoli #CanadaSky www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Bill C-22, Bill C-30… Is Carney actually gunning to outdo Harper as the worst PM in Canadian history?

"The day Bill C-30 was introduced, Michel spoke at an event hosted by CropLife Canada, the major organization representing pesticide companies. The next day, she touted in a speech that she was the first health minister to do so."

142. Do not give politicians the power to override food safety regulations. www.nfu.ca/bill-c-30-po...

www.nfu.ca/bill-c-30-po... This too - Cabinet gets to override seed, feed, plant health, fertilizer, safe food and health of animals laws and regulations. These are also all on the wishlists of corporate agribusiness lobbyists like CropLife.

They're pointing to "the rising cost of food" as their justification; sure, it's the lack of pesticides, not the consolidation/monopolization in our food industry www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
