OFA supported the Ontario government’s proposed changes to amend the Pesticides Act to align Ontario’s system of pesticide classification with the federal pesticide categories. OFA believes this alignment will streamline the approval process while still ensuring appropriate oversight. The federal Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA)’s review and registration of pest control products in Canada employs a rigorous science- and evidence-based process in an open and transparent manner. Pesticides are stringently regulated in Canada to ensure human health and the environment remain protected.
