They have had to deal with it at the local level and they believe there should be more leadership from the federal jurisdiction that would actually help to support the case they have advanced which is the banning of pesticides.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7362\" data-originallang=\"en\">It is important to note that jurisdictional issues are very sensitive. My experience to date has been that municipalities are looking for leadership from the federal government on this and other issues with regard to human health.</p>",

Elles ont d\u00fb s'en occuper au niveau local, et elles estiment que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral devrait jouer un plus grand r\u00f4le pour aider \u00e0 soutenir leur cause, soit l'interdiction des pesticides.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7362\" data-originallang=\"en\">Il importe de noter que les questions de comp\u00e9tence sont tr\u00e8s d\u00e9licates. Autant que je sache, les municipalit\u00e9s veulent que le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral prenne l'initiative dans ce dossier et dans d'autres dossiers portant sur la sant\u00e9 humaine. </p>"
