Recent work in the United States has actually provided us with some really good studies on the possibility of increased costs, which would be pennies a year per household, a really minimal increased cost. We've looked at why Canadians want GM foods labelled. In 2015, we commissioned a poll by Ipsos Reid: 87% of Canadians who did want labelling just wanted to know what food they were eating, and 30% had ethical concerns. People want to see labelling for different reasons. Food costs in the European Union aren't any higher than they are in Canada because of labelling.
I think the rationale for CFIA to label is exactly the same rationale or diversity of concerns over why we label “Made in Canada” or why we label irradiated foods. There is a precedent here for labelling for non-health and safety reasons, and Canadians have clearly been asking for this for 20 years.
