Yes, it is essential that ecosystem contamination be taken into account.
When we see how Environment Canada authorized AquaBounty to launch production, when we read the report, we see that the persons responsible came to the conclusion that there was little chance that the genetically modified salmon would escape. However, if the genetically modified salmon did escape, there would be no going back. The genie would be out of the bottle. The ecosystems will have been contaminated.
When we know that the AquaBounty factory in Prince Edward Island is in an ecosystem that has wild salmon, which is not the case of the AquaBounty factory situated in Indiana, it becomes necessary to take all precautions.
Currently, we are dealing with one organism. However, in the future, with genome editing, as I said before, there will no doubt be many more organisms being put on the market. It is therefore imperative to do things right right now.
