Anyone remember another time Canada ignored a preponderance of evidence about health affects of a product they said was safe?

Its a shame he stepped down. It seems he really cared about improving the state of pesticide use and research for the good of public health but was held back by beauracracy (and probably corporate profits). Whoever replaces him will probably be complacent in letting pesticide companies continue to poison our land, water, and population while lining their pockets with pesticides lobbying money and a tax payer funded salary.
