Violations Of Federal
Pesticide Law 2017 – 2022

~

~

~

Statement  ― 

~

~

Bad-Boys Defying Pest Control Products Act

~

~

~

Violation Of Federal Pesticide Law  ― 

~

~

The instruction & safety precautions that appear on the Approved Pesticide Product Label are written by expert-scientists at Health Canada to protect human health & the environment. 

~

The use of a pest control product in a way that is INCONSISTENT with the directions on the label, & in a way that ENDANGERS human health & the environment, is a Violation Of Federal Pesticide Law ( a.k.a. Pest Control Products Act ). 

~

The VAST MAJORITY of businesses that are guilty of Violations Of Federal Pesticide Law have been Lawn Care Businesses & Extermination Businesses. 

~

In most cases, these businesses Violated Federal Pesticide Law for illegally applying AGRICULTURAL insecticides in RESIDENTIAL SETTINGS on lawns, trees, shrubs, & / or structures. 

~

The use of an AGRICULTURAL product in a RESIDENTIAL SETTING is CONTRARY to the use instructions stated on the Approved Pesticide Product Label  ―  this is the most common Violation Of Federal Pesticide Law. 

~

All AGRICULTURAL products may only be applied on specified FOOD CROPS, & not residential trees, shrubs, lawns, & / or structures. 

~

~

~

Violator-Businesses  ― 

~

~

Several businesses that rely upon pest control products defied have acted like « BAD-BOYS » who cannot be bothered with legal & registered label directions when they can LIE & CHEAT. 

~

Overall, very candid & unbelievable public disclosures have confirmed wide-spread & flagrant DEFIANCE of Federal Pesticide Law in jurisdictions across Canada, as well as Provincial Pesticide Law in provinces like British Columbia, & State Pesticide Law in states like North Carolina. 

~

Health Canada must be aware that businesses & personnel have Violated Pesticide Law in all of these jurisdictions. 

~

The use of a product CONTRARY to label instructions is a Violation Of Federal Pesticide Law ( a.k.a. Pest Control Products Act ). 

~

Violator-Businesses operate mostly in the Lawn Care Industry, the Extermination Industry, the Golf Industry, the Agriculture Industry, & others. 

~

Soon, observers expect that « BAD-BOYS » in these Canadian industries will receive more & more attention by the UNCHALLENGEABLE & UNSTOPPABLE Health Canada. 

~

What are « BAD-BOYS » gonna do when Health Canada comes for them ?!?!  

~

~

~

Violator-Provinces  ― 

~

~

The VAST MAJORITY of businesses that are in Violation Of Federal Pesticide Law have been located in the province of Quebec. 

~

Why ?!?!  There may be several reasons  ―  

~

•   Quebec is actually the BIRTH-PLACE of the province-wide ( or state-wide ) PROHIBITION against pest control products used to protect the urban landscape. 

~

•   Quebec businesses are much more likely to flagrantly DEFY Provincial Pesticide Law ( a.k.a. PROHIBITION ). 

~

•   Quebec has many more « BAD-BOY » businesses that cannot be bothered with legal & registered label directions. 

~

•   Health Canada’s Quebec inspectors may be UNCHALLENGEABLE & OUT-OF-CONTROL since they impose horrific, arbitrary, & stunningly debilitating penalties that are out-of-proportion with the seriousness of the violation  ―  see below. 

~

•   Quebec violators may be RATTED-OUT more often by informants within their industry who EXPLOIT Health Canada as a bludgeon against their competitors. 

~

~

~

Is Health Canada Unchallengeable & Out-Of-Control ?  ― 

~

~

Federal inspectors are allowed to impose horrific, arbitrary, & stunningly debilitating penalties for supposedly serious & very serious violations without having to pursue formal prosecution. 

~

Moreover, Health Canada’s penalties are out-of-proportion with the seriousness of the violation. 

~

Is Health Canada unchallengeable & out-of-control ? 

~

~

~

Real Experts  ― 

~

~

Health Canada is UNCHALLENGEABLE since its expert-scientists have the ESSENTIAL EXPERTISE & ULTIMATE CREDIBILITY on pest control products. 

~

Federal Pesticide Law, a.k.a. Pest Control Products Act, regulates the products used for the control of pests. 

~

Health Canada’s Pest Management Regulatory Agency ( PMRA ) is responsible for administering Federal Pesticide Law with over 350 doctorate-level experts & leading scientific experts on pest control products. 

~

Hundreds & hundreds of laboratory & field studies are evaluated by expert-scientists to ensure that pest control products are SCIENTIFICALLY-SAFE & WILL CAUSE NO HARM. 

~

~

~

Protecting The Public  ― 

~

~

The UNCHALLENGEABLE Health Canada helps protect the Canadian public by researching, assessing, & collaborating in the management of the health risks & safety hazards associated with the many consumer products that Canadians use every day. 

~

There are NO UNACCEPTABLE RISKS to health & the environment because of Health Canada’s internationally-accepted scientific standards, i.e. Good Laboratory Practice. 

~

Consequently, pest control products are one of the most stringently regulated products. 

~

These products may only be used after Health Canada’s expert-scientists have confirmed that it WILL NOT HARM human health & the environment, when they are used properly. 

~

The UNCHALLENGEABLE Health Canada requires thorough scientific reviews & safety assessments to ensure that pest control products meet strict health & environmental standards, & are shown to have value.

~

~

~

According To Health Canada  ― 

~

~

This section provides information on VIOLATIONS of the Pest Control Products Act and its Regulations that have resulted in WARNINGS, PENALTIES, and / or CONVICTIONS. 

~

The Agriculture & Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties ( AMPS ) Act provides a system of PENALTIES and WARNINGS for VIOLATIONS of several federal acts including the Pest Control Products Act, which regulates pesticides. 

~

The AMPS Act allows Canadian pesticide regulatory officials  [ A.K.A. INSPECTORS ]  to IMPOSE PENALTIES WITHOUT HAVING TO PURSUE FORMAL PROSECUTION. 

~

As a result of amendments to the Agriculture & Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations Respecting the Pest Control Products Act and Regulations, the PENALTIES have INCREASED. 

~

The applicable PENALTY amount in case of a VIOLATION with a date of awareness on or after 12 December 2018 is provided for in Section 5 of the « Agriculture & Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations Respecting the Pest Control Products Act and Regulations ». 

~

For the applicable PENALTY amount in case of a VIOLATION with a date of awareness before 12 December 2018, please refer to the Section 5 ( 3 )  [ SEE BELOW ]  of « Agriculture & Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations Respecting the Pest Control Products Act and Regulations » as it existed prior to 12 December 2018  ―

~

~

Health Canada is responsible for the regulation of pesticides in Canada under the Pest Control Products Act. 

~

Each pesticide proposed for use in Canada is evaluated to determine if it meets Health Canada’s standards for the protection of health and the environment, and whether the product is effective for its intended use. 

~

Pesticides that meet Health Canada’s standards are registered for use. 

~

The import, sale or use of UNREGISTERED pesticides in Canada is a VIOLATION of the Pest Control Products Act, as is using a pesticide in a manner INCONSISTENT with directions on the product label. 

~

Health Canada verifies reports of ILLEGAL and UNREGISTERED pesticides, or MISUSE, through its network of regional officers. 

~

When purchasing a pesticide, consumers should verify that a pest control product number ( PCP Reg No ) appears on the label. 

~

This number indicates that the pesticide has been registered by Health Canada. 

~

Consumers should carefully read, understand, and follow label directions when using any pesticide, and pesticides must not be used for purposes other than indicated on the label. 

~

To report a suspected VIOLATION, pesticide incident, or obtain further information regarding specific enforcement bulletins, contact the Pest Management Information Service.
