Alex Atamanenko (BC Southern Interior) tabled a private member’s bill today that will bring transparency to the use of genetically modified foods. His bill will require the mandatory labelling of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in food. ”Year after year the results of public opinion polls overwhelmingly demonstrate that over 80% of Canadians want products containing genetically modified organisms to be labelled,” said the NDP Agriculture Critic. ”People should have the right to make informed choices about the food they purchase to feed their families.”
