Mr. Speaker, in the second petition, petitioners are calling on the House of Commons to put forward an act to amend the Food and Drugs Act. The petitioners point out that Canadians have a right to make informed choices about the food they eat by having adequate information provided on food labels. Therefore, the petitioners ask that the Food and Drugs Act be amended around mandatory labelling for genetically modified foods.
In the House of Commons on February 1st, 2013. See this statement in context.
