Policy Letter: MbEN co-signs with Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Manitoba (CPBM) to resist Bill 22, which would permit the use of pesticides that are currently banned

MbEN co-signs with Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Manitoba (CPBM) to resist Bill 22, which would permit the use of pesticides that are currently banned

MbEN joins 32 organizations concerned by the proposal to allow the use of cosmetic pesticides that were banned in 2015. This Bill is out of alignment with the most updated research on the safety hazards of pesticides. The use of pesticides can negatively impact human health, especially for children. Cosmetic pesticides can also harm animals (both pets and wildlife) and wash into the rivers. We believe that Bill 22 is a step backward for Manitoba that will introduce harm to our fragile ecology.
