Canada proposes tougher pest control rules for transparency
Health Canada announces amendments to the Pest Control Products Regulations in the Canada Gazette Part I. The changes aim to improve transparency in pesticide decision making, require public notification for MRL review of imported foods, allow access to confidential test data, and mandate information on cumulative environmental effects and species at risk. The package complements ongoing efforts since 2021 to disclose applicant names, post plain language decision summaries, and boost public participation in pesticide regulation.
