International Trade as it applies to nontariff trade barriers in the Agricultural and food area in the Pest Control Products Regulations and Health Canada Policies To advocate for a federally funded national water monitoring program that includes the measuring of environmental and climates outcomes, as well as risk assessment. This program should support regulatory decisions and assist Canada in achieving its environmental and biodiversity goals and targets. To request that the Government of Canada extend, in accordance with the Pest Control Products Act under Article 21 (3), the implementation timeline of Health Canada’s Re-evaluation Decision RVD2021-04, Lambda-cyhalothrin and Its Associated End-use Products (the Decision) which cancelled the use of this product for feed, while maintaining it for food. The implementation extension period should be sufficient to allow grains produced from crops treated with lambda-cyhalothrin in 2023 and previous years to be used as both food and feed and to be marketed in the years to come. A realistic and reasonable extension timeframe is necessary to provide certainty to growers and agri-business on what constitutes regulatory compliance in 2023 and beyond. Increase long-term and targeted federal funding to help farmers adopt green technologies and sustainable practices that will support an environmentally responsible agriculture and food growing sector.
