Non-Essential Pesticide Use Regulation (286/2014): submission of petition signatories

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) submitted a letter to the Minister of Sustainable Development of Manitoba on November 27, 2018, urging the government to maintain the Non-Essential Pesticide Use Regulation (286/2014).

• The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE) and 361 petition signatories urged the Government of Manitoba to keep the provincial Regulation restricting non-essential pesticide uses, arguing that the ban on more toxic pesticides is a science-based policy that reduces risks to humans, pets, wildlife, and pollinating insects.
• CAPE references research from over 500 independent, peer-reviewed studies indicating that pesticide exposure is linked to adverse respiratory, developmental, neurological, and reproductive outcomes, with heightened significance for newborns, pregnant women, and children.
• CAPE cites a study of municipal weed programs in six Canadian cities demonstrating that satisfactory weed control is achievable at a reasonable cost without using riskier herbicides.
