82-931: The PMRA works with provincial, territorial and federal departments in Canada to help refine and strengthen pesticide regulation across the country. Outside of Canada, the Agency works closely with international organizations such as the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the North American Free Trade Agreement Technical Working Group , the European Union , and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). They work to align

164-806: A base to the navy of an adversary), as well as to support amphibious operations throughout the region (such as the Chesapeake campaign during the American War of 1812 ). Bermuda was consequently the most important British naval and military base in the Americas. Canadian confederation resulted in the Canadian Militia becoming responsible for the defence of the Maritimes, the abolition of the British Army's commander-in-chief there, and

246-665: A great deal of power relative to the federal government, with jurisdiction over many public goods such as health care, education, welfare, and intra-provincial transportation. They receive " transfer payments " from the federal government to pay for these, as well as exacting their own taxes. In practice, however, the federal government can use these transfer payments to influence these provincial areas. For instance, in order to receive healthcare funding under Medicare , provinces must agree to meet certain federal mandates, such as universal access to required medical treatment. Provincial and territorial legislatures have no second chamber like

328-524: A lieutenant-general termed a general officer commanding and the Bermuda garrison becoming a command in its own right. Bermuda was consequently left out of the confederation of Canada, though it retained naval links with Halifax and the state church (or established church ), the Church of England , continued to place Bermuda under the bishop of Newfoundland until 1919 (Bermuda also remained linked to

410-449: A lifetime with no adverse effects. The environmental risk posed by a pesticide is a function of its environmental fate and environmental toxicology . The environmental fate provides an indication of what will happen to the product once it enters the environment. Factors such as the behaviour of the product in soil, water and air, the potential for its uptake by plants and animals and the possibility of bioaccumulation are evaluated. During

492-543: A major new registration can be in the area of $ 400, 000. Robert Arnason, a journalist at the time working The Western Producer , wrote in September 2015 an open letter to the PMRA that remarked the lack of transparency with respect to pesticide sales figures, which had ostensibly been legislated in 2006. In April 2015, the PMRA announced that glyphosate was due for a periodic review, and asked for public submissions. Both

574-520: A pesticide could occur in a typical day. When performing the assessments, scientists take into account the different ways people are exposed to pesticides. One consideration is the different exposures of those who work with pesticides (formulators, applicators, and farmers) versus bystanders (people working or living near where a pesticide is used). Another consideration is the different exposures at various ages (i.e. adults and children). The assessments are based on factors like routes and duration of exposure,

656-757: A portion of the costs of the product registration process from federal taxpayers to the private sector ensuring there is an appropriate cost-sharing balance. Present day, fees and charges fall under the Pest Control Products Fees and Charges Regulations , pursuant to section 67 of the Pest Control Products Act . The regulations were published on February 22, 2017, and came into effect on April 1, 2017. They are adjusted annually to account for inflation. As of 2018, individual fees can range from $ 80 to > $ 100, 000. Multiple fees may also apply to one application, therefore cost of

738-478: A product is initiated if there is reason to believe that risks may no longer acceptable based on new scientific information. To continue to monitor for safety after products are registered, registrants are required to report pesticide sales volumes along with any incidents associated with their products. Under the PCPA, company reports include adverse human and environmental effects as well as new data. Product users and

820-656: A prolonged economic crisis , and the legislature turned over political control to the Newfoundland Commission of Government in 1933. Following Canada's participation in the Second World War , in a 1948 referendum , a narrow majority of Newfoundland citizens voted to join the Confederation, and on March 31, 1949, Newfoundland became Canada's tenth province. The province was officially renamed Newfoundland and Labrador in 2001. Bermuda ,

902-416: A similar risk as a pesticide with high toxicity and low exposure. Built-in safety factors are designed to take into account the potential variability of response, both within the same species (e.g., adults versus children) and between species (e.g., animals versus humans). Additional risk mitigation and communication measures are put in place with more hazardous pesticides. Toxicological evaluations identify

984-479: A single branch under Health Canada. Although the other departments are no longer officially involved in the decision-making process, they support the work of the PMRA through research and monitoring activities in their respective fields of expertise. Subsequently, the administration of the Pest Control Products Act was transferred from the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food to the Minister of Health . By 1998,

1066-427: A useful purpose. In all cases the conditions of registration are specified, including label direction instructions, so that the product can be used safely. Re-evaluations are used to access any changes in data requirements and verify that the products comply with modern day standards. A re-evaluation must be initiated if 15 years have passed since the last major risk assessment. Re-evaluations can result in amendments to

1148-779: Is called the National Assembly . Ontario has a legislative assembly but its members are called members of the Provincial Parliament or MPPs. The legislative assemblies use a procedure similar to that of the House of Commons of Canada . The head of government of each province, called the premier , is generally the head of the party with the most seats. This is also the case in Yukon, but the Northwest Territories and Nunavut have no political parties at

1230-509: Is for scientific research, such as the hallucinogens LSD , DMT , and MDMA . These parts established eight classes of regulated substances, ranging from Schedules A to H. The 1996 Controlled Drugs and Substances Act repealed Parts III and IV. In April 2008, an amendment to the Food and Drugs Act , Canadian Bill C-51 was tabled in the House of Commons. The purpose of this bill was to modernize

1312-717: Is in the Sir Charles Tupper Building in Ottawa, ON. In 1990, the Pesticides Registration Review Team was tasked with developing recommendations to improve the federal pesticide regulatory system. The Review Team consulted with Canadians across the country proposing a major reform to the federal pest management regulatory system. Proposed reforms from the Review Team were to establish a multi-stakeholder advisory council and

1394-440: Is manufactured, represented, distributed or used as a means for directly or indirectly controlling, destroying, attracting or repelling a pest or for mitigating or preventing its injurious, noxious or troublesome effects; (b) an active ingredient that is used to manufacture anything described in paragraph (a); or (c) any other thing that is prescribed to be a pest control product. Before a product can be submitted for evaluation,

1476-451: Is regularly updated by the PMRA, and sources its approach with accepted international standards. Through scientific evaluations the PMRA establishes standards of protection for human health and the environment. These evaluations consist of a risk-based approach which assesses hazardous properties and possible exposure. Risk is calculated by multiplying toxicity by exposure. Therefore, a pesticide with low toxicity and high exposure could pose

1558-449: Is to determine if a proposed pest control product can be used safely when label directions are followed and if the product is effective for its intended use. Under the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA) a “ pest control product ” is defined as: (a) a product, an organism or a substance, including a product, an organism or a substance derived through biotechnology, that consists of its active ingredient, formulants and contaminants, and that

1640-666: The Act focuses the administration and the Enforcement that allows the government to intervene with the manufacturer. It entails: Parts III (enacted in 1961) and IV (enacted in 1969) provided for implementation of controls required by the Convention on Psychotropic Substances . Part III dealt with "controlled" drugs such as amphetamine , methaqualone , and phenmetrazine , which have legitimate medical uses. Part IV focused on Schedule H "restricted drugs", those whose only legitimate use

1722-625: The Alberta Party and Saskatchewan Party . The provincial political climate of Quebec is different: the main split is between sovereignty , represented by the Parti Québécois and Québec solidaire , and federalism , represented primarily by the Quebec Liberal Party . The Coalition Avenir Québec , meanwhile, takes an abstentionist position on the question and does not support or oppose sovereignty. Currently,

1804-576: The Canadian Senate . Originally, most provinces had such bodies, known as legislative councils , with members titled councillors. These upper houses were abolished one by one, Quebec's being the last in 1968. In most provinces, the single house of the legislature is known as the Legislative Assembly; the exceptions are Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador, where the chamber is called the House of Assembly , and Quebec where it

1886-559: The Colony of British Columbia . NWT included the northern two-thirds of Ontario and Quebec. After the province of Manitoba was established in 1870, in a small area in the south of today's province, almost all of present-day Manitoba was still contained in the NWT. (Manitoba expanded to its present size in 1912.) The British claims to the Arctic islands were transferred to Canada in 1880, adding to

1968-627: The Constitution Act are divided between the Government of Canada (the federal government) and the provincial governments to exercise exclusively. A change to the division of powers between the federal government and the provinces requires a constitutional amendment , whereas a similar change affecting the territories can be performed unilaterally by the Parliament of Canada or government. In modern Canadian constitutional theory ,

2050-490: The Food and Drugs Act . Dietary Risk Assessments (DRAs) are also carried out to assess the potential daily intake of pesticide residues from all possible food sources. DRAs take into account the distinctive eating patterns of infants, toddlers, children, adolescents and adults. Toxicological evaluations also help to set the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI); the amount of a compound that can be consumed daily for

2132-650: The Hudson's Bay Company . In 1870, the company relinquished its claims for £300,000 (CND$ 1.5 million), assigning the vast territory to the government of Canada. Subsequently, the area was re-organized into the province of Manitoba and the North-West Territories. The North-West Territories encompassed all of current northern and western Canada, except for the British holdings in the Arctic islands and

2214-791: The Keewatin Region . It occupied the area that is now the Kenora District of Ontario, northern Manitoba, and mainland Nunavut. The government of Keewatin was based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The territory did not have any representation in federal parliament. The vast majority of Canada's population is concentrated in areas close to the Canada–US border . Its four largest provinces by area ( Quebec , Ontario , British Columbia and Alberta ) are also (with Quebec and Ontario switched in order) its most populous; together they account for 86% of

The squadron of the station was based at Royal Naval Dockyard, Halifax , during the summers and Royal Naval Dockyard, Bermuda , in

2378-582: The world's second-largest country by area. The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that provinces receive their power and authority from the Constitution Act, 1867 (formerly called the British North America Act, 1867 ), whereas territories are federal territories whose governments are creatures of statute with powers delegated to them by the Parliament of Canada . The powers flowing from

2460-482: The 1867 Canadian Confederation , three provinces of British North America — New Brunswick , Nova Scotia , and the Province of Canada (which upon Confederation was divided into Ontario and Quebec )—united to form a federation , becoming a fully independent country over the next century. Over its history, Canada's international borders have changed several times as it has added territories and provinces, making it

2542-615: The 60° parallel, Ontario's to Hudson Bay and Quebec's to encompass the District of Ungava . In 1869, the people of Newfoundland voted to remain a British colony over fears that taxes would increase with Confederation, and that the economic policy of the Canadian government would favour mainland industries. In 1907, Newfoundland acquired dominion status. In the middle of the Great Depression in Canada , Newfoundland underwent

2624-517: The Arctic , particularly as global warming could make that region more open to exploitation leading to more complex international waters disputes . Food and Drugs Act The Food and Drugs Act ( French : Loi sur les aliments et drogues ) is an act of the Parliament of Canada regarding the production, import , export , transport across provinces and sale of food , drugs , contraceptive devices and cosmetics (including personal cleaning products such as soap and toothpaste ). It

2706-546: The Canadian mainland (from those in James Bay to the Queen Elizabeth Islands ). The following table lists the territories in order of precedence (each province has precedence over all the territories, regardless of the date each territory was created). Another territory, the District of Keewatin , existed from October 7, 1876, until September 1, 1905, when it rejoined the Northwest Territories and became

2788-844: The French government donated the land used for the Vimy Memorial "freely, and for all time, to the Government of Canada the free use of the land exempt from all taxes". The site of the Somme battlefield near Beaumont-Hamel site was purchased in 1921 by the people of the Dominion of Newfoundland . These sites do not, however, enjoy extraterritorial status and are thus subject to French law. Since Confederation in 1867, there have been several proposals for new Canadian provinces and territories. The Constitution of Canada requires an amendment for

2870-640: The Maritimes under the Methodist and Roman Catholic churches). In 1903, resolution of the Alaska Panhandle Dispute fixed British Columbia's northwestern boundary. This was one of only two provinces in Canadian history to have its size reduced. The second reduction, in 1927, occurred when a boundary dispute between Canada and the Dominion of Newfoundland saw Labrador enlarged at Quebec's expense; this land returned to Canada, as part of

2952-567: The North, for organizational and economic purposes. For much of the Northwest Territories' early history it was divided into several districts for ease of administration. The District of Keewatin was created as a separate territory from 1876 to 1905, after which, as the Keewatin Region, it became an administrative district of the Northwest Territories. In 1999, it was dissolved when it became part of Nunavut. Theoretically, provinces have

3034-431: The PMRA had set up policies for product evaluations in which additional protection was required for vulnerable sectors like children and pregnant women, and pesticide exposure from all sources had to be taken into account, including food and water. These policies were formalized when a new Pest Control Products Act was approved in 2002 and came into force on June 28, 2006, replacing the 35-year old Act. On 31 January 2008,

3116-403: The PMRA has over 200 types of mandated tests that developers must perform to verify that the end product does not pose unacceptable risks. The PMRA then uses the given data to perform independent assessments in accordance with the PCPA. A product will only be registered if there is sufficient scientific evidence to show it does not pose an unacceptable health or environmental risk and that it serves

3198-674: The PMRA said that more than 25 million kilograms of glyphosate were sold in 2014. In June 2017, a prothonotary in the Federal Court ruled in David Suzuki Foundation v. Canada (Health) that, in a review of the neonicotinoid clothianidin , Bayer CropScience "failed to satisfy the first branch of the Sierra Club test ". The PMRA was dragged into court because they attempted to justify their ban on publication of Bayer's sensitive commercial information, which in

3280-599: The Pesticide Residue Compensation Act (PRCA) and the Food and Drugs Act (FDA). Additionally, the PMRA uses the Agriculture and Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Act and its associated regulations as an enforcement tool for the PCPA. In addition, Health Canada maintains a lengthy list of Policies and Guidelines which must be observed by the Agency. The primary role of the PMRA

3362-732: The Review Panel Regulations were instituted, to administer sections 35 to 40 of the then-renewed Act. A statutory review of the Pest Control Products Act was held by the Health Committee of Parliament on 27 January 2015. Three witnesses from the Pest Management Regulatory Agency were called to speak on the legislation. Aucoin, the Executive Director of the PMRA, stressed the science based and OECD -collaborative nature of

3444-459: The active ingredient glyphosate and its formulated products were considered during the re-evaluation. Some glyphosate products also contain POEAs , which function as surfactants. The product labels were revised to ensure that a limit of 20% POEA by weight is directed. As of April 2017, all registered glyphosate end-use products in Canada meet the 20% limit. By 2019, the labels will be changed to reflect

3526-703: The bill would illegalize all food and Natural Health Products by categorizing them as drug products. Natural health products in Canada have been regulated as a subset of drugs since the Natural Health Products Regulations were put into place on January 1, 2004. Health Canada has stated "The Natural Health Product Regulations, introduced in 2004, will continue to operate the same way under Bill C-51. Canadians will continue to have access to natural health products that are safe, effective and of high quality. In spite of this claim, The Natural Health Industry remained skeptical. A watchdog group

3608-440: The concerns of householders, addressing buffer zones and run-offs near aquatic zones. The statement "when used according to the label, products containing glyphosate are not a concern to human health and the environment" was explicitly made. The Seralini affair was noted in response to one (or several) complaint, and the agency explained its conduct with a link to its 25 October 2012 statement on Seralini . A report generated by

3690-510: The country's population. The territories (the Northwest Territories , Nunavut and Yukon ) account for over a third of Canada's area but are only home to 0.3% of its population, which skews the national population density value. Canada's population grew by 5.0% between the 2006 and 2011 censuses. Except for New Brunswick , all territories and provinces increased in population during this time. In terms of percent change,

3772-411: The creation of a new province but the creation of a new territory requires only an act of Parliament , a legislatively simpler process. In late 2004, Prime Minister Paul Martin surprised some observers by expressing his personal support for all three territories gaining provincial status "eventually". He cited their importance to the country as a whole and the ongoing need to assert sovereignty in

3854-451: The drug was taken by women in early stages of pregnancy. As a result of the problems caused by the drug thalidomide , the Act was revisited and strengthened by Health Canada . The revised version placed new requirements on manufacturers to provide evidence for efficacy in seeking a Notice of Compliance , which must be obtained before any drug could be sold. The manufacturer must meet all the requirements before making any drug available to

3936-437: The effectiveness of pest control products. The product is evaluated based on its health, safety and environmental benefits along with its social and economic impact. Furthermore, value assessments are used to establish the lowest effective rate at which pesticides can be applied to minimize the risks to health and the environment. In addition to carrying out evaluations, recommendations on how to best mitigate risk are made during

4018-612: The environment by minimizing the risks associated with pesticides all while enabling access to pest control products and pest management strategies. The goals listed above helped work to set up the agency’s mandate. In 1995, the formation of the Pest Management Regulatory Agency was approved with the purpose of consolidating the resources and responsibilities for pest management regulation. Staff and resources were consolidated from several federal departments — Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada , Environment Canada , Natural Resources Canada , Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Health Canada — into

4100-570: The environment, reduction of application rates, etc. Label statements outline the risk mitigation measures identified during the review process. All registered products must bear a label, which is a legal document that dictates the use instructions and safety precautions. During the re-evaluation process, interim mitigation measures such as rate reductions or use restrictions can be put in place to revise label instructions that are outdated or no longer supported. Approximately 30% of PMRA’s operating budget comes from cost recovery fees. This model realigns

4182-452: The environmental toxicology assessments, scientists examine the effects the product has on non-target terrestrial and aquatic species. The primary consideration in a value assessment is determining a product’s efficacy; put differently, ‘does it do what it is claimed to do’. The assessment helps certify that only products that make a positive contribution to pest management are registered; helping to protect users from deceptive claims regarding

4264-535: The event, was found to be already in the public domain. In a stinging rebuke, it was held that the Applicants were "put to the expense of responding to the ever-changing nature of Bayer’s motion". Provinces and territories of Canada Canada has ten provinces and three territories that are sub-national administrative divisions under the jurisdiction of the Canadian Constitution . In

4346-483: The fastest-growing province or territory was Nunavut with an increase of 12.7% between 2011 and 2016, followed by Alberta with 11.6% growth, while New Brunswick's population decreased by 0.5%. Generally, Canadian provinces have steadily grown in population along with Canada. However, some provinces such as Saskatchewan, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador have experienced long periods of stagnation or population decline. Ontario and Quebec have always been

4428-408: The federal level, and as a result, have a commissioner that represents the federal government. There are three territories in Canada. Unlike the provinces, the territories of Canada have no inherent sovereignty and have only those powers delegated to them by the federal government. They include all of mainland Canada north of latitude 60° north and west of Hudson Bay and all islands north of

4510-465: The federal party. The Liberal Party of Canada shares such an organizational integration with Atlantic Canada provincial Liberals in New Brunswick , Newfoundland and Labrador , Nova Scotia , and Prince Edward Island . Other provincial Liberal parties are unaffiliated with their federal counterpart. Some provinces have provincial political parties with no clear federal equivalent, such as

4592-427: The federal/provincial/territorial committee. Furthermore to increase public participation they recommended providing access to information on regulatory decisions with the intention of increasing openness and transparency. Additional suggestions to improve operation included: The Canadian government provided a response in 1994 recognizing the principles of environmental sustainability: to protect human health, safety and

4674-492: The general public. After the launch of the Federal Department of Health in 1919, the Food and Drugs Act was presented in late 1920. Rules and regulations developed under the Act established the requirements for licensing and creating drugs in Canada. The law granted the Minister of Health the right to cancel or suspend licenses of companies failing to comply with the requirements. The Food and Drugs Act

4756-610: The indicia of sovereignty from the United Kingdom. Prior to this, Ontario and Quebec were united as the Province of Canada. Over the following years, Manitoba (1870), British Columbia (1871), and Prince Edward Island (1873) were added as provinces. The British Crown had claimed two large areas north-west of the Canadian colony, known as Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory , and assigned them to

4838-632: The last British North American colony, which had been somewhat subordinated to Nova Scotia, was one of two Imperial fortress colonies in British North America ;– the other being Nova Scotia, and more particularly the city of Halifax. Halifax and Bermuda were the sites of the Royal Navy's North America Station (or, depending on the time period and the extent of the Western Hemisphere it included,

4920-412: The one minority provincial/territorial government is held by the Liberals in Yukon . They are in government with a formal confidence and supply agreement from the Yukon New Democratic Party . The Canadian National Vimy Memorial , near Vimy , Pas-de-Calais, and the Beaumont-Hamel Newfoundland Memorial , near Beaumont-Hamel , both in France, are ceremonially considered Canadian territory. In 1922,

The required studies are designed to assess the possible adverse health effects on a variety of species that may result from single, multiple or lifetime exposure from pesticides via various routes of exposure . Major studies include acute , short- and long-term toxicity; carcinogenicity ; genetic , reproductive , and developmental toxicity ; and teratology . Occupational Exposure Assessments (OEA) are performed to determine how much exposure to

Over 75% of PMRA’s employees are scientists, with specializations in toxicology , environmental science , biology and chemistry . Other employees include policy, regulations, communications and administration. The PMRA's headquarters

5166-410: The province of Newfoundland, in 1949. In 1999, Nunavut was created from the eastern portion of the Northwest Territories. Yukon lies in the western portion of Northern Canada, while Nunavut is in the east. All three territories combined are the most sparsely populated region in Canada, covering 3,921,739 km (1,514,192 sq mi) in land area. They are often referred to as a single region,

5248-411: The provinces are considered to be co-sovereign within certain areas based on the divisions of responsibility between the provincial and federal government within the Constitution Act, 1867 , and each province thus has its own representative of the Canadian Crown , the lieutenant governor . The territories are not sovereign, but instead their authorities and responsibilities are devolved directly from

5330-400: The public about the nutritional content of foods high in sodium, sugars, and saturated fat. The front-of-package nutrition symbol is mandatory for prepackaged foods that meet or exceed specified levels for sodium, sugars, or saturated fat. However, certain foods are exempt from displaying this symbol, including: The front-of-package nutrition symbol is depicted in black and white and features

5412-523: The public can also report incidents. Health Canada works to promote, monitor, and enforce pesticide compliance activities under the National Pesticides Compliance Program (NPCP). The program is administered jointly by the Pest Management Regulatory Agency and the Regulatory Operations and Enforcement Branch (ROEB) of Health Canada. The PMRA inspects reports of illegal pesticides or misuse through its network of regional officers. Additionally, laboratory scientists test pesticides to determine if they comply with

5494-417: The public, but once the drug passes with no adverse reactions and without any changes needed to the drug's formula , it may never be subjected to review by Health Canada again. Some health advocates want post-approval surveillance to watch for unexpected problems. Part I provides general interpretations of the terms, and provides details of each of the topics discussed on what the Act entails: Part II of

The PMRA is managed by an Executive Director who reports to the Deputy Minister of Health: Directorates The PMRA is responsible for administering the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA) and its associated regulations on behalf of the Minister of Health. The PCPA and the Pest Control Products Regulations (PCPR) maintain that: Other Acts which have an impact on pest management are

5822-450: The risk assessment process. Based on the information gathered during the above-mentioned assessments, risk management strategies are explored to see if any are available that might sufficiently mitigate the determined risk. Evaluators must decide if risk management strategies are necessary to mitigate environmental or health risks. Mitigation options reduce exposure; examples include protective clothing for applicators, buffer zones to protect

5904-506: The same name. For example, no provincial Conservative or Progressive Conservative Party shares an organizational link to the federal Conservative Party of Canada , and neither do provincial Green Parties to the Green Party of Canada . Provincial New Democratic Parties, on the other hand, are fully integrated with the federal New Democratic Party —meaning that provincial parties effectively operate as sections, with common membership, of

5986-526: The size of the North-West Territories. In 1898 the Yukon Territory, later renamed "Yukon" in 2003, was carved from the area surrounding the Klondike gold fields . On September 1, 1905, a portion of the North-West Territories south of the 60th parallel north became the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. In 1912, the boundaries of Quebec, Ontario, and Manitoba were expanded northward: Manitoba's to

These measures include: The PMRA applies science-based decision making to premarket and post market reviews. These reviews incorporate human health and environmental risk assessments , as well as value and product chemistry. A guidance document

6232-413: The territorial level. The King's representative in each province is the lieutenant governor . In each of the territories there is an analogous commissioner , but they represent the federal government rather than the monarch. Most provinces have rough provincial counterparts to major federal parties. However, these provincial parties are not usually formally linked to the federal parties that share

6314-498: The two biggest provinces in Canada, with together over 60% of the population at any given time. The population of the West relative to Canada as a whole has steadily grown over time, while that of Atlantic Canada has declined. Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia were the original provinces, formed when several British North American colonies federated on July 1, 1867, into the Dominion of Canada and by stages began accruing

6396-453: The use pattern, label statements, or classification of a product. However, if it is determined that the risks to human health or the environment are no longer acceptable, or that the product is without value for its intended purpose, the registration is cancelled. Special reviews allow the PMRA to cancel or amend the registration of one or more registered pest control products without waiting for its scheduled re-evaluation. The special review of
