| Dear Louisette,
Victory! We finally have the green light to proceed with the neonics court case. We believe that bees are at risk from exposure to the pesticides Clothianidin and Thiamethoxam.
Last week, John Bennett and I attended the hearing in Toronto – our Ecojustice lawyers were terrific and convincing. This was the first public hearing after a year of procedural wrangling.
Our legal case claims that PMRA has engaged in an unlawful course of conduct of improperly successively registering, or amending the registration, of these pesticides and their end–use products even when the pesticide manufacturers have failed to provide the scientific information required to demonstrate that products’ environmental risks are acceptable to pollinators. |

| After less than a week, the presiding judge issued her decision – she turned down the attempt by the federal government and pesticide manufacturers to kill the court case – while she did not issue definitive findings about the merit of our case, the presiding judge did say there is a basis for the courts to be concerned with the PMRA’s apparently lax regulation of neonics.
When the case is finally heard on its merits, a decision could provide a lasting precedent for proper implementation of the act which controls pesticide registration, the PCPA, regardless of what happens when PMRA re-evaluates the neonics.
Now we wait another 10 days to see if there is an appeal on this decision – we’re hoping to finally move ahead to the real meat of the case – has PMRA acted unlawfully?
It’s been a long year of procedural battles since we filed this case and we’re very proud of our Ecojustice lawyers’ work. And, I want to thank you for your continuing interest and support.
You can help ensure Friends of the Earth can stand up to the challenges by government and pesticide manufacturers by making your donation a monthly one – $10 or whatever you can afford per month goes a long way to supporting this work.
All the best, |
