There will also be a march in Duesseldorf, where our office is located. Monsanto has its German headquarters in Duesseldorf.

We will distribute leaflets on Bayer´s Liberty Link Rice (see: http://www.cbgnetwork.org/3035.html).

Section 16 (1) of the Parliament of Canada Act states that “no member of the Senate shall receive or agree to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, for services rendered … in relation to any bill, proceeding, contract, claim, controversy, charge, accusation, arrest or other matter before the Senate or the House of Commons or a committee of either House.” Moreover, Section 16 (3) makes “every person who gives, offers or promises to any member of the Senate” such compensation liable to imprisonment for up to one year.

Section 121 (1) of the Criminal Code states that anyone who “gives, offers or agrees to give or offer” to an official or “being an official, demands, accepts or offers or agrees to accept” any “loan, reward, advantage or benefit of any kind” in return for “co-operation, assistance, exercise of influence or an act or omission” in connection with “any matter of business relating to the government,” is guilty of an offence punishable by up to five years in jail.

It would appear that the proposed changes are to the benefit of corporations and to the detriment of farmers and consumers. Your Agency is supposed to be there to protect consumers. Don’t fix what isn’t broken. Don’t yield to corporate pressure. Who is the CFIA working for?

It was done BEFORE Wright resigned.

“Liberal MP Bob Rae said someone needs to take a “hard look” at whether more than just ethics rules were broken when Wright wrote a personal cheque to cover Duffy’s expenses.

“There are provisions, not only in the Senate ethical code, but there are also provisions in the Criminal Code of Canada. People can’t accept payments if you’re a public office holder which have the effect of changing the activities of government.”

Rae said the $90,000 payment had a “direct impact on the conduct of an audit into the activities of Senator Duffy and other senators.”

PM in ‘full-fledged damage control,’ NDP says

“We know that Senator Duffy’s audit was shortened, was changed, because of the fact that he made this $90,000 payment and that he made this payment because Mr. Wright gave him the money to make the payment,” he told CBC News.

NDP ethics critic Charlie Angus also pressed for more answers on Sunday and said the Conservatives “are now in full-out political panic” over the payment.

“I think what the resignation tells us is that the prime minister is now in full-fledged damage control. They pushed Pamela Wallin off the ship on Friday, Mike Duffy went for the high jump the day before, now Nigel Wright’s gone, the prime minister’s taking off for Peru,” he said.

“Nigel Wright needs to come clean on the details of the deal he negotiated to cover up for Senator Duffy’s expense claims and whitewash the Senate committee report,” Angus said, adding it’s important to have an independent investigation to determine exactly what happened.” ”
