Environmental and food groups are taking Health Canada to Federal Court again to challenge its decision to approve the renewal of a pesticide that contains ...
A group of concerned citizens gathered on McNally Road in the Burlington, Kings County, area on Sept. 1 for a rally protesting the planned aerial spraying of glyphosate on a nearby recovering clearcut. A lawsuit has been launched against Health Canada to challenge its decision to approve the renewal of a pesticide that contains glyphosate as an active ingredient.
“We need Health Canada to stay on top of the science, particularly for glyphosate, which is the most widely used pesticide in Canada by a large margin,” Bowman said. The product, which contains glyphosate as the active ingredient, is used on a variety of crops and trees but Health Canada renewed the registration without updating the risk assessment for glyphosate.
“Our findings contribute to the weight of evidence supporting an association between glyphosate exposure and oxidative stress in humans and may inform evaluations of the carcinogenic potential of this herbicide,” the abstract conclusion of the study reads. “Health Canada is supposed to regulate, not rubber-stamp, these hazardous pesticides,” Cassie Barker, toxic program manager at Environmental Defence Canada, said in the release.
“This is the fourth time we’ve had to sue PMRA over glyphosate, which is no easy task for a small NGO,” Mary Lou McDonald, president of Safe Food Matters said in the release.
