Mr. Speaker, the United Nations biosafety protocol negotiations are under way in Cartagena, Columbia.
On February 11, the European parliament voted on legislation to make biotech companies legally responsible for the adverse effects of releasing living modified organisms.
We have learned that this Liberal government is negotiating against liability or redress responsibilities in Cartagena.
My questions for the government will be: What will protect Canadian farmers if a biotech crop fails? Why is the government against liability for biotech companies?
