| Abstract/Contents: | Summarizes the Canadian government's response to the Standing Committee on the Environment and Sustainable Development's report titled Pesticides: Making the Right Choice for Protection of Health and the Environment. Discusses the benefits and risks associated with pesticide use. Explains that "The Government Response endorses the Standing Committee's number one priority and first guiding principle, protecting human health and the environment." Describes the Canadian Government's commitment to "science-based risk assessment and risk management" when determining the registration of pesticides. Discusses the promotion of IPM in urban landscapes. Concludes that "risk reduction must be conducted within a context of sustainable pest management, which will involve collaboration and consultation with provinces, territories and stakeholders" and that "the regulation of pest control products must be undertaken within the broader perspective of sustainable pest management - which is fully consistent with the principles of pollution prevention and the principles and practices of IPM." |
