Bill Detail
An Act to amend the Feeds Act, the Fertilizers Act, the Seeds Act, the Pest Control Products Act and the Food and Drugs Act
This enactment amends the Feeds Act, the Fertilizers Act, the Seeds Act and the Pest Control Products Act to provide for provisional registration or approval of feeds, fertilizers, seeds and pest control products that are already approved by two or more trusted jurisdictions.
It also amends the Food and Drugs Act to provide that the Minister may, by order, deem that specified requirements of that Act or the regulations are met in respect of a veterinary drug on the basis of a decision of, or any information or document produced by, a foreign regulatory authority.
Bill C-273, also known as the Facilitating Agricultural Regulatory Modernization Act, proposes to speed up the approval process for certain agricultural products in Canada. It would allow for provisional registration of feeds, fertilizers, seeds, and pest control products if they have already been approved by at least two other trusted countries. This aims to align Canadian regulations with international standards and make it easier for businesses to bring approved products to the Canadian market.
