Greenpeace activist in Montreal, with a barrel of genetically engineered canola for Canadian Environment Minister Stéphane Dion.
After more than three years in power, Jean Charest's
provincialgovernment has failed to keep a promise made during the
last provincialelection to label genetically engineered (GE) foods
in Quebec, despitethe fact that the majority of Quebec residents
want to see labels on GEfood.
Greenpeacebelieves that GE labelling in Quebec would be the
first steptowards provincial, and, eventually, national labelling
programs inCanada. And Quebec would be the first jurisdiction in
North America togo GE-free, setting an important precedent across
the continent.
Greenpeace is keeping up the pressure on the Charest government,
demanding action on labelling.
Take action:
Tell Jean Charest to keep his promise and label GE food.
