The report begins with a brief reference to the ethical principles guiding the Advisory Committee's work. This is followed by a discussion of the science, governance and regulation of GM foods in Canada, a look at some of the recent policy developments in Canada and around the world, and an outline of some of the economic, environmental and socio-ethical elements of the GM foods debate. The report then discusses the Committee's recommendations, organized under 4 themes: good governance; precaution; information and consumer choice; social and ethical considerations. Annexes include a summary of written input on the Committee's Interim Report; an introduction to possible 2nd and 3rd generation GM foods and the questions they raise; an analysis of the impact of labelling GM foods on a number of public policy issues; a framework to consider the acceptability of GM foods.
