So you agree with Novartis, that genetically modified varieties
generally take more time to develop than conventionally bred
varieties, due to additional research and development work?

No, the added time is due to red tape.

So, are you saying Novartis lied in their response to the Committee
when they said there is additional research and development work
with new genetically modified varieties compared to new conventionally
bred varieties?

BT and RR cotton, beans and corn took how long by conventional breeding?

Come, it is a simple question. Novartis would be in the position to
know whether or not there is additional research and development work
with genetically modified varieties compared to new conventionally
bred varieties. Right?

And, Novartis told the Australian Committee that there is additional
research and development work with genetically modified varieties.

So, either you agree with Novartis, or you are saying Novartis lied to
the Committee. ---Which is it?---

When you show me a round up ready field crop developed with conventional
breeding we can see which is faster.
