I'll stop quoting from it, Mr. Chair, but the point is that Mr. Van Acker and others are talking about the need to implement strategies and protocols to make sure that there is a zero-level presence. That's perceived by some. I'm not saying Mr. Van Acker is saying that. I'm saying that's the problem right now in the seed industry, and it's generally human error.
I know that Denmark has deployed strategies to allow coexistence with an almost, if not complete, zero presence.
I eat GM. I want to say this very clearly: I don't have any trouble eating GM foods. I don't. But I also very much believe in the right to coexistence and the separation of one from the other. Frankly, I think it's a matter of economics and convenience that we're now leaning towards this low-level presence.
My question is, is the cat out of the bag even in the seed industry? Is the toothpaste out of the tube in the sense that your industry can't deploy the same protocols in Canada as they do in Denmark to make sure that, at the very least, seed, which, as you said, is not the subject of these negotiations, it's other crops...? Is it not best at this point not to choose convenience and instead choose purity of your seed?
