A national biodiversity group says Canada needs to keep genetically engineered animals out of the wild, after the federal government recently rejected several attempts to strengthen its existing laws.
OTTAWA -
Future Fields submitted the application in November. The public consultation lasted 30 days, ending Jan. 28, and included 17 submissions. A decision is due March 17, though Guilbeault could delay it up to four months. Butler, however, said public consultation for the EntoEngine was based on two paragraphs of information that includes a claim the product “poses no known risks to either humans or animals” with no scientific evidence to back that up.
Canada has authorized 17 versions of GloFish using a relatively new, voluntary public consultation process. None of the recommendations dealing with genetic engineering were included in the government’s update legislation.
