According to the note I received from my MP today, Bill C-517, which proposed mandatory labelling of genetically modified foods in Canada, did not pass second reading on May 7th 2008.

Now would be the time to write to your MPs and tell them to try again. I don’t think they heard us the first time. Or the second.
