The final decisions on these neonicotinoids are expected to be made in 2020.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>Environment Canada doesn\u2019t routinely test ponds, wetlands and creeks across the Prairies for pesticides and little data is available on the levels of neonicotinoids in prairie water, or if the neonicotinoids affect invertebrates in the region.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>In the absence of such data, the EMWG established protocols for sampling, storage, handling and shipping, sample preparation, analytical methods for the tests, as well as detection limits for the three neonicotinoids.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>The EMWG co-ordinated with provincial and federal water monitoring agencies, and flowing water from all major watersheds in Canada were tested. Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) helped conduct wetland monitoring.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>In the prairie provinces, 620 samples at 168 sites were collected in 2017 from flowing water systems including streams, rivers and irrigation canals.

When detected, the insecticides were typically well below the chronic or acute endpoints established by PMRA for imidacloprid. By the middle or end of July, the insecticides were no longer detectable, said Warren Ward of the Canola Council of Canada during the University of Saskatchewan\u2019s Soils and Crops event in Saskatoon.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>He said in instances when neonicotinoid insecticides were found to be above acute or chronic levels, greenhouse or urban applications could be to blame not field crop use, but further investigation is needed.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\u201cThe data does not support any kind of restriction or ban on neonicotinoid seed treatment use, especially for field crops such as canola, pulses, cereals,\u201d Ward said.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>Soon after the PMRA 2016 decision to ban imidacloprid, farmers and industry stakeholders said restricted use of the neonicotinoid would cost the industry hundreds of millions of dollars.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>In response to the PMRA decision, Agriculture Canada established a multi-stakeholder forum on neonicotinoids, which lead to the development to the EMWG.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>Until last fall, the PMRA accepted submissions of new information that could influence its final decision on whether it will ban the use of imidacloprid.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>Water testing results from the EMWG\u2019s work last summer have been submitted to the PMRA for consideration.<br data-filtered=\"filtered\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\u201cIn January 2017, the PMRA provided the EMWG with parameters that needed to be addressed in order to generate scientifically robust environment water monitoring data.
