It's fear of the unknown about whether GM products are safe or not. Mr. Atamanenko and I have had this conversation. If the committee hasn't done it, I would suggest that you think about bringing in CFIA, Health Canada, and Ag Canada, and very carefully go through what health and safety studies are required. If you've already done that, there's a tremendous amount of stuff to go through testing before anything is ever approved.
