Review the Canadian Environment Protection Act including all regulations thereunder that deal with genetically engineered food, drugs and general non-therapeutic drugs and enact stringent legislation providing a meaningful regulatory framework for implementing recommendation and setting standards regarding genetically engineered hormones and biotechnical products.
