Bill C-30 is an omnibus bill that contains legislative amendments that would give Cabinet sweeping power to weaken the oversight of Canada’s food, agriculture, health and environment. It would undermine the food inspection system that keeps us all safe. www.nfu.ca/bill-c-30-po...

It was 2002 when Health Canada hosted an international conference on post-market surveillance of genetically modified foods. This bag is what's left of Health Canada's notion to track #GMOs. Sign the petition for mandatory labelling: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
