Mr. Speaker, I have in my hand a petition bearing 467 signatures expressing concern about the currently optional labelling of GMOs.
These people would like the federal government to change its legislation to make labelling mandatory. Some foods, as we know, are used in the preparation of others, such as soya and canola for example.
People are saying they would like to be able to choose to buy or not buy products containing GMOs. They would like to know the ingredients used in the food products through mandatory labelling. I am pleased to table a petition on their behalf.
