As another forest spraying season begins in New Brunswick, I want to state my opposition to the spraying of glyphosate-based herbicides. I just don't believe we need them. As you know, they are designed to kill hardwoods and plants in our forest, which we need to provide both food and habitat for wildlife. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the herbicides used in New Brunswick Crown forest silviculture, was labeled a "probable human carcinogen" by the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2015. Replacing the use of herbicides in Crown forest with thinning crews of people, as Quebec has done since 2001, would ensure more jobs from our forest resource. The Auditor General of New Brunswick attributed the annual deficit from its Crown forestry operations ($7-10 million for each of the years, 2009-2015) to the costly silviculture program in her 2015 report. A lot of New Brunswickers clearly agree with me. Over 13,000 of them signed a petition recently tabled in the N.B. Legislature and a growing alliance of over 30 groups are working to ban the practice. As your constituent, I ask that you support a ban on spraying glyphosates and other herbicides in Crown forestry in New Brunswick. Sincerely,
