| Message | "We support the deregulation of the labeling of chemicals used in agriculture or processing. It does not make sense to force this information onto the label of a final product, mixed in with the nutritional information. We will however remain adamant that the current government policy concerning the use of pesticides, remains the same. Id est: 'Farmers are required to list chemicals used on their crops.'" - Ralph Goodale, Social Liberal Food and Agriculture expert. |
