LETTER TO THE EDITOR RE: FURTHER TO PROPOSED IPM ACT REGULATORY CHANGES Mr. Rousseau, I completed last week the submission from our company for the changes to the IPM Regulation proposed by the BC Ministry of Environment. During this process, I reviewed the information published recently on the topic. I read carefully the text copied in your email titled "Allied Golf Association of BC, Recommendations regarding proposed pesticide legislation amendments." I was impressed by the seven suggestions made by this committee. The suggestions are sound, reasonable and designed to address public concerns. This group did not take the easy way out. They deserve congratulations. — Mario Lanthier CropHealth Advising & Research Kelowna, B.C. 250-717-1898 Original article may be found at: wcta-online.com/pesticide-issue-news/ item/767-further-to-proposed-ipm-act- regulatory-changes-just-announced
