Charest, give us the mandatory labeling of GMOs
Mr. Jean Charest, Premier reelected
I take the trouble to write in support of many groups including Greenpeace in their efforts to that Québec should establish mandatory labeling of GMOs.
I am one of 80 to 95% of Quebecers who want the right to know, as is already the case in some forty countries, if there is food on their plates contain GMO or genetically modified organisms.
If your party has lost its absolute majority in the National Assembly is in large part because of your broken promises, like the one you made January 15, 2003 regarding the mandatory labeling GMOs. Breaking promises inevitably grow popular cynicism. This explains much of the rise of the ADQ, which has yet no concrete proposal on environmental issues, particularly regarding the mandatory labeling of GMOs.
We urge you to enjoy your status as a minority government to implement policies that Quebeckers want to be massive, as the mandatory labeling of GMOs. A study commissioned by your government have confirmed that the costs of mandatory labeling would be much lower than what the industry has always claimed to date. Indeed, the annual costs for the government reach only $ 1.7 million.
In mandatory labeling of GMOs, your minority government would obtain at least the support of members of the Parti Quebecois, which signed an unequivocal statement in favor of such a measure. Also, many members of the ADQ would no doubt support the requirement to label GMOs.
Please accept, Mr. Prime Minister, my best regards.
