CropLife Canada statement on PMRA drone consultation

Drone application for crop protection products has the potential to improve the efficiency and sustainability of Canadian farmer operations. CropLife Canada is pleased to see the Pest Management Regulatory Agency move forward with a public consultation on drone application of pesticides. This is a step toward Canada aligning its approach with those of other risk-based jurisdictions and responding to the needs of Canadian growers. At a time when Canadian agriculture is poised to deliver significant economic and food security gains for the country, CropLife Canada continues to advocate for pragmatic, risk-based approaches to regulation that enable innovation and drive competitiveness while maintaining high standards for health and safety.
