Who then will fight to protect the industry from the Ontario prohibition?
The Professional Lawn Care Association (PLCAO), in conjunction with its membership, and other concerned parties, has been very decisive regarding the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Act. It has recently launched a legal action. This legal challenge will be expensive. Fifty to $100,000 will likely be the price tag for a lawsuit that challenges the Cosmetic Pesticide Ban Act. In comparison, when the industry challenged the Town of Hudson, the path to The Supreme Court of Canada ultimately cost $125,000. People seem to forget that when you lose a challenge, you must pay the opposition’s legal bills as well as your own. The Professional Lawn Care Association of Ontario has correctly recognized that this is our last chance to prevent the prohibition, and save the industry and our future. It needs our financial support! We must defend the industry, whatever the cost may be!
