Background: Safe Food Matters Inc. challenged the Pest Management Regulatory Agency's (PMRA) decisions related to the phase-out of the pesticide chlorpyrifos.

Decision: The Federal Court dismissed the applications for judicial review. The Court found the PMRA's decisions reasonable and consistent with its statutory obligations, upholding the approach and timeline for the phase-out of chlorpyrifos.

Key Points:

1. Reasonableness of PMRA's Decisions: Upheld as justified, transparent, and intelligible.
2. Phase-out Period: The Court found the established phase-out period for chlorpyrifos was reasonable and necessary for minimizing risks associated with immediate disposal.

Conclusion: This case emphasizes the court's deference to expert regulatory bodies like PMRA in making scientifically informed decisions about public health and environmental safety.
