Alachlor :is a 'herbicide used widely by corn and soybean tarmer users and the public at large, and recommended re- " registration of alachlor. ' growers. Wise cancelled its - registration in 1985, and the Government appointed an Alachlor Review Board to in- vestigate alleged health risks pos- ed by the herbicide to farm operators. The Board, composed of ex- perts in toxicology, cancer risk analysis, and agricultural economics, heard testimony from 53 witnesses on the safety, merit and value of the herbicide. At the end of the review, they reported that alachlor and metolachlor (a competitive herbicide) do not pose an unacceptable risk to PETE'S PET) "Mr. Wise has deferred to other members .of the Cabinet who dispute the Review Board's fin- dings. Where is the proof that this Review Board did not do its job properly? What confidence can farmers have in the process of chemical registration in Canada, or in any review board from now on?" she asked. Ge Hear ng Aid Centre ¢f Port Perry Dr. E.

"This federal government promotes free trade and talks of 'harmonizing regula- tions' between the two countries. In this alachlor decision, we've got the exact opposite. We have decided on' different standards from the Americans, and Cana- dian farmers are left to pay the price."
