CBC Mainstreet: ACORN Raises Concerns About Bill C-30

ACORN is deeply concerned about the potential impacts of Bill C-30 on Canada's pesticide approval process. If passed, the proposed legislation could weaken science-based pesticide regulation by introducing additional political and economic considerations into decisions that should prioritize human health, environmental protection, and independent scientific evidence.

ACORN Program Manager Bethany Koughan recently spoke with CBC about why this matters to organic farmers and the broader public. Strong, transparent, and science-based regulation is essential to maintaining public confidence, supporting sustainable agriculture, and protecting the ecosystems we all depend on.

Listen to the CBC interview to learn more about ACORN's perspective and why we are calling for evidence-based decision-making in Canada's pesticide regulatory system.
