Good morning. Thank you for your testimonies. I'll start with you, Mr. Black.
People have suggested using buffer zones, in other words protected areas between GMO crops and non-GMO crops, a measure that has often been advocated to avoid cross-pollination. In your testimony, you said that you spoke with the people at Monsanto, and they recommend a certain distance, 0.8 kilometres. But you told us that you realized that pollen from GMOs can spread over greater distances than that and go fairly far. You mentioned 16 kilometres, carried by wind or by bees.
Do you have examples that could enlighten the committee on this type of contamination. I'm not talking necessarily about Monsanto. It could be with any other producer of GMO seeds where someone has noticed that fields that are very far away have been contaminated.
