Petition to the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health
WHEREAS
We do not consent to and are strongly opposed to:
- The use and application of herbicides and surfactants by the forestry industry, which is detrimental to the environment, local flora and fauna, and water sources;
- Herbicides being used by the forestry industry to prevent the natural return of the forest's biodiversity, increasing the risk to forest fires and in turn accelerating climate change, risking a loss of economic value, and threatening communities and the overall health of Canadians.
We, the electors of Canada, call upon the Honourable Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health to:
- Ban the commercial use of herbicides in the forestry industry in Canada, with the exception of addressing invasive species that are well documented.
- Presented to the House of Commons
-
