Résumé

The present Act lays down provisions relating to the use of pesticides. In this Act, “pesticide” means any substance, matter or micro-organism intended to directly or indirectly control, destroy, mitigate, attract or repel any organism that is injurious to or noxious or troublesome for humans, animal life, vegetation, crops or any other object, or intended for use as a plant growth regulator, except a vaccine or a medication other than a topical medication for external use on animals. The Minister of the Environment shall devise and propose to the Government programs fostering a decrease in and the rationalization of the use of pesticides; he shall direct and coordinate the implementation thereof. The objects of the programs shall be 1) to promote the analysis, assessment and control of the effects of the use of pesticides on humans and other living species as well as on the environment and on property; 2) to contribute to the development of alternatives to the use of pesticides, such as biological or integrated pest control, and to promote the use of such alternatives. The Act consists of 9 chapters as follows: Preliminary provisions (I); General duties and powers of the Minister (II); Provisions applicable to all activities relating to pesticides (III); Right to perform certain activities relating to pesticides (IV); Proceeding before the Administrative Tribunal of Québec (V); Inspection, seizure and confiscation (VI); Inquiry (VIII); Penal provisions (IX); Provisional measures (X); Miscellaneous and transitional provisions (XI).
