<DIV>The Globe and Mail Report on Business (p. B10) reports that the Ontario
Court of Appeal has sided with the Ontario Ministry of the <SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Environment and backed a decision by a lower court
judge that rejected the Grain Farmers of Ontario's (GFO) appeal of the ban of
neonics on soybeans and corn. </SPAN>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Here' the legal wording of the decision:
"The regulation is not ambiguous and GFO has not identified a genuine
dispute about the farmers' rights and obligations. To grant the remedy
that GFO seeks would be tantamount to amending a regulation through
interpretation, a remedy well outside the court's discretionary power to order
declaratory relief." The GFO argued that the law infringed on their
property rights. The court stated that the restrictions were constitutionally
vlid: "The limitation of a right does not, standing alone, create a
justiciable issue."</SPAN></DIV>
