People can always have suspicions but that doesn't necessarily mean they are factual. The Canadian Biotechnology Action Network tries to make this Action of Information as some scandalous story but that's just their interpretation which has no facts. Lucy Sharratt can disagree with Aquabounty and GMO fish, but she has no proof that the CFIA is not doing their job properly in this case. Instead she unfairly smears the agency and its employees based on her suspicions that this request influenced their testing and they were more concerned about the company.
The reasons for the expedited testing of these eggs, given the eggs are only viable for so long, are not unreasonable. Priorities at labs are not engraved in stone. It's not uncommon for lab clients to get their samples done as soon as possible. Doesn't mean they are going to get their own way because some tests are just not completed over night. If it's possible to adjust schedules to get testing done sooner for a perishable product without compromising the testing process and safety then why not consider it. At this point, the onus is on the Canadian Biotechnology Action Network to prove that this jumping ahead in the cue compromised safety, not the CFIA to disprove an interpretation of the Action of Information document by the Network.
