Laurel Collins at the Environment and Sustainable Development Committee

Thank you so much.

I want to thank you for all of the work that your organization has been doing to protect wild salmon on the west coast as well.

I will turn to Mr. Affleck.

You mentioned that you focus mainly on plant GMOs. When I was doing a bit of research, I noticed GMO Answers, which is a website of CropLife International. They had a page on AquaBounty with responses to some of the concerns. The question of first nations and indigenous concerns wasn't mentioned there. I'm wondering if you could speak to that at all.
