Organic bill back at Queen’s Park



New Democrat Peter Tabuns of Toronto and Tory Sylvia Jones from Dufferin-Caledon say they, will re-introduce a co-sponsored private member’s bill today to create the framework for organic-products regulations.

The bill was originally introduced in September, but died when Premier Kathleen Wynne prorogued the legislature in March.

Two weeks ago all parties said they would support legislation when they were attending the Organic Council of Ontario’s annual meeting and policy forum.

Despite support from backbench Liberals, the party has yet to announce its support.
