Important Food And Drug Regulatory Changes “Hidden” In Omnibus Budget Bill Important Food And Drug Regulatory Changes “Hidden” In Omnibus Budget Bill

Regulatory Law
– May 15, 2024May 15, 20242024-05-15
Over the past few years, regulatory amendments have permitted linking of outside “technical” documents to various regulations administered by Health Canada, especially the Food and Drug Regulations (the Regulations). Although this allows timely updates to technical standards, it also takes important regulatory matters outside of the Canada Gazette process (which permits public comment) and by outsourcing requirements to international bodies, defeats in-Canada democratic oversight of bureaucratic actors. This is part of a process of “outsourcing” Canadian law to external bodies which has been ongoing for some time.
