Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government is trying to remove important safeguards that keep genetically modified crops separate from non-GMO crops. If the government has its way, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency will no longer test food and seeds that contain low-level concentrations of GMOs, but even small traces of GMOs can compromise our trade with Europe and Asia.
Why will the government not tell Canadians the truth about their food, and why is it willing to put our trade with our partners at risk?
