Support Bill C-74 Before April 14

Help protect farmers! Act by April 14:

Canadian Biotechnology Action Network asks you to act before April 14th in support of Bill C-74.

Bill C-474 would require that "an analysis of potential harm to export markets be conducted before the sale of any new genetically engineered seed is permitted." The Bill could stop genetically engineered alfalfa and GE wheat and protect farmers from economic hardship caused by GE crops.

The biotech industry has launched a heavy lobbying campaign to stop Bill C-474, but it is not dead yet. The official vote on Bill C-474 will happen on April 14.

For background, instant letters and other ways to help, visit CBAN's website.
