Get Rona Ambrose to meet with me to discuss food safety and GMO labelling in Canada as soon as possible. This is an urgent and important issue that our country is very behind on.

The Issue

64 countries around the world have GMO labelling laws. Dozens of them, including 3rd world countries, have completely banned GMOs altogether. Why are we so behind?

 Many highly respected scientists around the world have been expressing extreme concern about the dangers of Genetically Modified Organisms in our food and the environment. There are many countries far less fortunate than us who are doing a better job at protecting their citizens from GMOs. We live in a first world, democratic country, and yet we currently do NOT have the freedom to choose between non-GMO and GMO foods because GMO labelling is not mandatory.

I love being Canadian, but I'm embarrassed to be one of the last countries in the free world that does not honour its citizens' RIGHT TO KNOW AND RIGHT TO CHOOSE what we eat! Let's finally make this a law!

I love animals and have many of my own pets at home. No matter what kind of lifestyle you choose, whether you eat meat or not, you should have the right to know what's in your food and be able to choose which food you eat. I also believe that we should leave this planet in a better state than how we found it. One planet for all. All for one planet!
