BRITISH COLUMBIA DOES NOT REQUIRE A COSMETIC PESTICIDE BAN

Premier Gordon Campbell, Hon. Barry Penner, Hon. Bill Bennett:

I understand that your Government plans to review the use of cosmetic pesticides. It is my belief that both homeowners and professional applicator companies should be able to use any pest control product that has been registered by Health Canada as safe to use when label recommendations are followed. Health Canada’s respected Pest Management Regulatory Agency has the real experts on this subject. Their conclusions should be the foundation on which decisions are made regarding cosmetic pesticides.

I am of voting age in the Province of British Columbia, and request that your Government support the real science of pesticides, not the incorrect and emotion-based stance of misinformed anti-pesticide organizations and persons. I do not want to see the prohibition of the legal and proper use of these products.

Thank you.
