More recently Percy has spoken out against the Canadian Government's advocacy of "Terminator" seed technology. He will be speaking about GMO Pharmaceuticals, Food Safety , and Environmental Law .He is a farmer from Bruno, Saskatchewan Canada whose Canola fields were contaminated with Monsanto's Round-Up Ready Canola. Monsanto's position was that it didn't matter whether Schmeiser knew or not that his canola field was contaminated with the Roundup Ready gene, or whether or not he took advantage of the technology (he didn't); that he must pay Monsanto their Technology Fee of $15./acre. The Supreme Court of Canada agreed with Schmeiser, ruling that he didn't have to pay Monsanto anything.. .....full story Percy Schmeiser in Vancouver !
