Prairie trip plan for Commons agriculture committee

In April the Commons agriculture committee voted to seek permission to visit Western Canada to study grain issues. MPs plan to cut Easter vacation and depart April 9, visiting four western provinces, with debate on trip timing and scope. The motion faced opposition over timing and breadth, but the committee narrowly supported an eastern Canadian trip later.

Expert Warns Pesticide Residues Intoxicate Canadians

Expert Joe Gurba of Alberta’s crop protection division told the Western Canada Farm Safety Conference that federal health data show an average Canadian carries seven parts per million of pesticide residues. He warned residues impair faculties like alcohol and could cause permanent damage with long exposure, noting some individuals along the Hudson River reach 150 parts per million yet survive. Gurba urged stricter regulations and said Alberta is drafting a new Agricultural Chemicals Act to assign greater responsibility to individuals, organizations, and agencies to ensure safe use and prevent contamination.
