Mr. Speaker, BST is not approved for sale in Canada. That is a fact. It will only be approved if it is safe and efficacious and if it does what it purports to do.
When we speak of moratoriums, the voluntary moratorium was arrived at by the industry and Agriculture Canada in order to allow the committee to study the issue further. On health grounds, the product has not been approved. At this time we do not know if it will be approved. We must allow the work of Health Canada to go on.
