Article Abstract:

Ann Clark, a professor of plant agriculture at the University of Guelph, has said that the Canadian government's data demonstrates that genetically modified foods require further testing.

U.S. firm says Ottawa bungled lumber pact

Article Abstract:

Lumber company Pope and Talbot Inc. is seeking more than $125 million from the Canadian government for alleged mishandling of the Canada-US softwood lumber agreement. The company, which has operations in British Columbia, claimed 6.3% of its quota allocation slipped away because the federal government unfairly redistributed it to other companies. Pope and Talbot also claimed that share of lumber companies in British Columbia dropped from 59% of the total quota to 56% while Quebec's share increased from 23% to 25.3%.
