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 benefits that the Canadian government must consider when deciding to approve this plant for agricultural use?
b) If approved, what advantages will this transgenic carrot offer to farmers? What are some potential drawbacks for farmers?
c) Do you believe that foods produced with genetically modified ingredients (such as this carrot) should be labelled for consumers? List your arguments. Then, list some of the arguments you could make to support the other side.
