Ottawa—Federal approval of gene-edited crops has the support of most farm groups that want their members to have the same choices in crops as growers in other countries.
Bibeau also announced that the government will once again provide funding to support the review of Canada’s organic standards, which are updated every five years and are due for renewal in 2025. That will compromise organic guidelines by making it difficult to verify GE products, which will undermine consumer trust and confidence, she said.
Rick White, Chair of the Canada Grains Council, said, “Innovations like GE crops can help farmers adapt to changing climate conditions and pest pressures while continuing to produce safe, high-quality food for Canadians and consumers worldwide. Farmers are eager to have access to these new plant varieties and look forward to welcoming them to the Canadian marketplace.”
