customarily used by members of the public as visitors, licensees or
in any other authorized capacity for recreation or entertainment,
including but not limited to parks and sports grounds;
(b) that this ban not apply to a building used for the husbandry of
animals, the cultivation of plants or the storage, processing,
packaging or distribution of plants or animals or products made
primarily from plants or animals, or in the immediate vicinity of
such a building;
(c) that this ban not apply to a control product used within an
enclosed building: to purify water intended for the use of humans or

(d) that should further exemptions be sought to this pesticide ban,
then the onus to prove safety shall be placed on the manufacturer to
show to the satisfaction of both the Minister of Health and the House
of Commons Standing Committee on Health, through scientific and

The Liberals seem to have short
term memories. See
priority resolution #113 adopted by the Liberal Party in 2000.
----------
March 19, 2000 - At the annual convention of the Liberal Party of
Canada on March 16-19, 2000, in Ottawa, party delegates adopted
priority resolution #113 concerning the cosmetic use of pesticides
which states:
"Be it resolved that the Liberal Party of Canada urge the federal
government to introduce an immediate moratorium on the cosmetic use
of chemical pesticides until such time as their use has been
scientifically proven safe and the long-term consequences of their
application are known."
