DESCRIPTION:As part of the event\, there will be a Quebec cider tasting.\n
 \nRegistration is required and limited to 100 participants. Please registe
 r by email at cipp1.law [at] mcgill.ca. First come\, first served.\n\nUp u
 ntil recently\, Geographical Indications (GIs) were limited to wine and sp
 irits. Now\, they extend to a variety of agro-food products such as cider.
  This expansion\, paired with the coming into force of the Comprehensive E
 conomic Trade Agreement (CETA) in September 2017\, marks Canada’s new miss
 ion to increase the scope of protections for GIs.\n\nYet\, surprisingly\, 
 GI protections under CETA only benefit European producers—no Canadian prod
 ucts were included in the list of protected products. Canada’s failure to 
 put products forward for GI protection in CETA is symptomatic of its defic
 ient agricultural policy and a hesitation to recognize terroir-related foo
 d innovations.\n\nNotwithstanding federal shortcomings\, other provinces h
 ave been quick to act. For example\, Québec has designed original legislat
 ion to support and regulate the development of new local terroir products 
 such as ice cider and ice wine.\n\nEfforts such as Québec’s are particular
 ly timely\, as consumers are becoming increasingly sophisticated\, crave m
 ore authentic products\, and pay more attention to what they consume. Prod
 ucts must now speak to the socioeconomic context in which they were grown\
 , marketed\, and sold\, and consumers demand better quality and hold produ
 cers and governments accountable to a greater extent than ever before.\n\n
 Please join us for this half-day multidisciplinary conference\, which exam
 ines issues and tensions regarding regulation\, economics\, and culture th
 rough the lenses of science\, ethics\, society\, and law. Experts from a v
 ariety of disciplines will use cider as a case study\, a bone of contentio
 n\, or\, in its French rendition\, la pomme de discordre!\n\nA request for
  4 hours of accredited continuing legal education for jurists has been mad
 e to a recognized provider.\n
