We grow four genetically modified crops here in Canada. For canola, we could say that the GM trait is going persist into the future. But we have a very important chance to maintain the integrity of the organic sector and evaluate the economic consequences of some GM crops, such as alfalfa, which we can anticipate we cannot take back once Roundup Ready alfalfa is released. We have the chance to assess that now and to address it by making sure it's not released into the environment.
