The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has approved the commercial
release of the genetically modified corn Mon 89034.
The GM corn, expressing the cry1A.105 and cry2Ab2 genes for lepidopteran
pest resistance, has been authorized for use as livestock feed in the
country. Based on thorough scientific assessment, CFIA has determined that
the GM corn does not present any livestock feed safety concerns or
environmental risks compared to currently commercialized corn varieties in
Canada.

Any corn lines derived from event MON 89034 may also be released into the
environment and used as livestock feed, provided that no inter-specific
crosses are performed, the intended uses are similar and the novel genes are
expressed at a level similar to that of the authorized line.
