CBAC is embarking on a major analysis of this institutional transformation imperative and, by next autumn, intends to provide strategic advice to government on the more immediate issues and opportunities. CBAC will also inform federal Ministers of the major topics, background analysis, consultation processes and partnerships it intends to pursue in developing advice on the longer-term institutional transformations required to achieve the goals of:

• ensuring Canadians capture the economic, social, health care, environmental, and quality of life benefits from biotechnology; and,
• addressing and managing the potential challenges, risks, hazards, tensions and tradeoffs associated with this transformative technology.
