・7.16 本委員会はこれらの意見に強い衝撃を受け、カナダ政府はモデルとして米国の最近の子供保護の発展を取り入れ、その保護を全ての影響を受けやすいグループ保護に拡張すべきであると結論している。
本委員会は、新しい有害生物駆除法は環境と人間の健康保護、特に全ての影響の受けやすい集団グループの保護に優先権を与えることを勧告する。
本委員会は、政府が最も影響を受けやすいグループのために、新しい有害生物駆除法を通じ、法的保護を確保することを勧告する：胎児、子供、老人、女性、原住民、化学物質過敏性を患う人及び健康のすぐれない人、農薬の職業的使用者。
最後に、農薬に関する決定は最も影響を受けやすいグループの保護に立脚すべきである。

103 There are other native populations elsewhere in Canada that also have a traditional diet, such as groups in Saskatchewan that collect berries, mushrooms and wild rice, and where aerial spraying may well deposit pesticides on the vegetation. These groups are also very likely to be vulnerable to pesticide exposure, but the Committee did not receive any evidence on this point.
