Whereas the production of genetically modified and genetically engineered foods can lead to cross-pollination with wild plants and non-genetically modified crops causing genetic pollution and potential human health concerns; And whereas several countries around the world have implemented compulsory labelling of genetically modified and genetically engineered foods, and a majority of Canadians are supportive of compulsory genetically modified and genetically engineered food labelling: Therefore be it resolved that Health Canada be urged to implement compulsory labelling of genetically modified and genetically engineered foods sold in Canada.
