What is the Government of Canada position on GURTs?
The Government of Canada recognizes that as with any new technology, GURTs raise health and safety as well as socio-economic questions. The adoption of this technology must proceed with caution, to enable the full evaluation of any risks and benefits. This approach is consistent with the way Canada considers all applications of biotechnology in the environment – a cautious and responsible case-by-case assessment of each new product.
