"Pesticide use in British Columbia is regulated by all three levels of government – federal, provincial and municipal. Some people believe that additional provincial regulation of the sale and use of cosmetic pesticides is necessary.
Should the use of pesticides for cosmetic purposes be subject to additional provincial regulations? Are you in favour of province-wide restrictions on the sale or use of pesticides for non-essential purposes? If there were additional restrictions, which business sectors or specific uses should be exempted? Should the application of cosmetic pesticides be restricted to licensed professionals? Appointed by the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, the all-party Special Committee on Cosmetic Pesticides is examining these questions and seeks your input.
You are invited to participate in the consultation by completing an on-line questionnaire or by sending a written submission to the Committee. Following the consultation, the Committee will issue a report to the Legislative Assembly recommending possible changes to provincial laws concerning the use and sale of cosmetic pesticides. The deadline for submissions is Friday, December 16, 2011."
