Mr. Speaker, during the negotiations on the Cartagena protocol, Canada was one of a group of countries, including the United States, wishing to have the protocol placed under the authority of the World Trade Organization, which is not called for by the present provisions of the protocol on biosafety.
Does the federal government intend to respect its signature, to say no to the United States' call for support for its challenge before the WTO of the European ban on GMO imports, and to immediately ratify the Cartagena protocol on biosafety?
