Yes. For instance, it is absolutely necessary to prevent the contamination of corn in Mexico, where the plant originated. Some contamination occurred in this country as a result of the exportation of American corn, which was largely subsidized by American taxpayers. Corn dumping took place in Mexico in the early 2000s. This was very well documented by the International Joint Commission, regarding the NAFTA and the environment. So, this is an issue.
However, other issues will arise, and we could discuss them later if you like. GM salmon could be produced in Canada and exported to Panama, which is about to ratify the Cartagena Protocol on Biosecurity, and then possibly be exported to the United States. Something like that would have consequences.
Canada should ratify the Cartagena Protocol on Biosecurity, act in a more transparent manner in its dealings with the international community and meet its global responsibilities.
