Thank you.
Yes, I do see that there's a major problem in tracking health effects, because there's no mandatory labelling or post-market surveillance of foods. But even outside of that, we see already, as I mentioned, some contamination events. Crops that were not approved for human consumption, through cross-pollination and even just human error and mixing, have made their way into the food system. We've seen this in the United States a number of times.
In the particular case of genetically engineered trees, we are looking at what we have called extreme dangers. Those are trees that are engineered to be low in lignin; as a result, they do not have defences against disease and insects, and if we see the transfer of genes into native Canadian forests, we see a huge disruption to an ecosystem that we need in climate change. In that particular case, we'd be talking about the environmental impacts of genetic contamination from genetically engineered trees. They are being field-tested in the United States with these low-lignin characteristics.
In addition, there are other social impacts across the world with that type of technology.
