Pettapiece asks government to listen to farmers on pesticide issue

Randy Pettapiece is asking the government to listen to farmers when it comes to neonic pesticides.

In a member’s statement Wednesday the Perth-Wellington MPP demanded decisions be made on science and not politics.

He urged the government to return to discussions with stakeholders and the Pollinator Task Force.

Pettapiece added that many farmers and agricultural groups are upset about the plan to ban neonics.
