The Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s (CFIA) Draft Plant and Animal Health Strategy for Canada is now available for consultation. The goal of the Strategy is to ensure the protection of human health and the environment through animal and plant health. The Strategy was developed collaboratively by government, industry and other partners in plant and animal health, and builds on the feedback gathered during online discussion and at the National Plant and Animal Health Planning Forum. A copy of the draft strategy can be found here.

CFIA will conduct consultation on the strategy until April 30, 2017. Please contact PAHS-SSVA@inspection.gc.ca if you have any questions about the consultation.
