A private company has developed a transgenic carrot that secretes its own pesticide. Therefore, this carrot is resistant to insects and worms that often damage root crops.

a) What are some of the risks and beneļ¬ts that the Canadian government must consider when deciding to approve this plant for agricultural use?
