Mr. Speaker, this petition relates to genetically modified alfalfa. I have had constituents on both sides of the issue as to whether Roundup Ready genetically modified alfalfa should be permitted. This petition is from organic farmers primarily, who are concerned about the potential deleterious effects of genetically modified alfalfa on their ability to conduct organic activities and agriculture in my constituency.
In the House of Commons on June 14th, 2013. See this statement in context.
