Health Canada's review concurs with the findings of regulators in other OECD countries, including the United States, European Union, New Zealand and the World Health Organization.

Sheryl McCumsey brought a petition with 1,200 signatures from Albertans who want new bylaws in place. She said she has gone to police, the city, and Alberta Health with concerns that her neighbour is "constantly" spraying the herbicide Roundup on his property, but has not received help because there is no bylaw. McCumsey claims herself and her daughter have experienced symptoms of herbicide poisoning, which include nausea, diarrhea and respiratory issues. She said many who signed her petition had more serious health problems, such as cancer, that they blame partly on excessive pesticide use. "This is heartbreaking," McCumsey said.
