Regulatory Stock Review Plan
This Regulatory Stock Review Plan is a public list and description of planned reviews of regulations that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is proposing within a two-year period. It is intended to give Canadians, including businesses and Indigenous peoples, and trading partners, greater opportunity to inform the reviews of regulations and to plan for the future. The stock review plan is developed through careful review and consultation on various CFIA regulations to determine how they can better serve Canadians. It is prioritized based on the timeframe for each reviewed regulation.
The stock review plan identifies a CFIA contact point for the planned reviews. This plan will be adjusted and updated over time to reflect CFIA's regulatory priorities and changes to the operating environment.
