Canadian Federal Election: Call for a moratorium on GE crops and foods
A broad coalition of civil society groups is calling on all candidates and Parties in the federal election to support an immediate moratorium on all new genetically engineered (GE) crops and food approvals until the government’s procedures for GE risk assessment have be reviewed and strengthened to meet strict international and scientific standards. The coalition, coordinated by the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network, has made this call for action on the same day as the National Film Board releases the DVD version of the controversial documentary: The World According to Monsanto.
