I previously posted a message about the CGB, which elicited a handful of
responses. It is
now becoming clearer that 1) the issue is bigger than just a few individuals
being labelled
"not bona fide researchers (or) breeders" 2) the change in policy/practice
can be traced to a
single individual, and does not represent immutable government policy.
I think that it is essential that we mount a coordinated opposition to this
withdrawal of access
to the resources in the Clonal Gene Bank, and (with considerable trepidation)
invite any and
all Canadian NAFEX members to contact me directly if they are interested in
helping me craft
an appeal to the Minister of Agriculture directly. (No point in burdening the
listserv - respond
specifically, and only, to me. Select my address to respond to in your email
client). I shall
create a document and circulate it for comment and input, and when all are
satisfied we will
submit it to Ottawa with all signatories listed.
