What we can confirm

Authoritative reporting on Bill C-30 indicates that the Carney government passed legislation granting the federal cabinet power to authorize the use of pesticides, including those that Health Canada has deemed unsafe, when ministers cite economic or national food security interests. The law allows cabinet to override scientific and health-based decisions under the Pest Control Products Act and related regulatory frameworks, and to approve such pesticides for multi‑year periods. While the claim’s phrasing "make all pesticides legal" is somewhat broader than the specific emergency‑style authorizations described, its core assertion—that Mark Carney’s government gave cabinet the power to permit even pesticides proven dangerous to humans—is strongly supported by multiple reputable sources.
