P.E.I.'s pesticide rules make it almost impossible for foreign workers to apply pesticides to fields, a farmer is complaining.

'Hopefully, this new government will take a look at this.'— Blueberry farmer John MacDonald

The rules say people applying pesticides must be able to read the instructions on the label, and since those instructions are in English, many foreign workers are unable to do the work.

"Prince Edward Island has the most stringent set of rules now," blueberry grower John MacDonald told CBC News Thursday.

"Hopefully, this new government will take a look at this and put us on a fair playing field, the same as other provinces."
