Frankensalmon fears prompt P.E.I. group to call for ban - Local - News - The Guardian: "A group of environmental, social and health advocates is calling on Premier Robert Ghiz to put a stop to the genetically engineered salmon currently being produced in Prince Edward Island.Leo Broderick of the Council of Canadians, who has taken his fight over this to Washington, says the Prince Edward Island government should have a say on what is happening within its own boundaries. “People all over the world are very concerned that Prince Edward Island will become the sole producer of the first genetically engineered (GE) animals, if in fact the United States does license it for the dinner plate,” Broderick said following his 45-minute meeting with the premier on Thursday. “It’s a black eye for the province. We do not need this distinction or designation as the home of the Frankensalmon.”"
