Thanks very much.
I'm hearing support for the precautionary principle, which to my mind is that even though something hasn't been proven to be dangerous, it can't be deemed to be safe. We know there are many factors in lots of things, and for individuals being able to choose their own risk assessment, information is good. We know that even though something might have one small bit of carcinogen in it, if there were a similar product without it you might choose the other one. If all of a sudden you found that all the products on your shelf had Cs on them, you might decide to choose differently.
Patients and Canadians want to know whether things have salt in them or whether they have all kinds of other things that aren't carcinogenic. They just want to know what's in them. I'm still having trouble understanding what the downside is to letting Canadians know whether something that has been implicated in cancer in any way is in a product.
