A Plant and Animal Health Strategy for Canada
Appendix 2: How the Strategy was Developed and Related Strategies
The Plant and Animal Health Strategy is one of the deliverables under the Emergency Management Framework for Agriculture in Canada that was endorsed by federal, provincial, and territorial (FPT) ministers of agriculture in July 2016. FPT ministers called for partners to jointly develop the Strategy to achieve an integrated approach to the prevention and mitigation of risks to Canada's plant and animal resources. The Strategy and its associated activities and implementation plan aim to build upon ongoing work in some areas and to identify new activities to carry out.
The Strategy is founded on a co-creation approach involving partners and stakeholders, with input collected through a series of consultations and engagements, including:
- Stakeholder consultations on the Emergency Management Framework for Agriculture in Canada (January to March 2016)
- In-person engagement in all provinces (September to November 2016)
- Online consultation on a discussion document regarding the development of the Strategy (September to December 2016)
- In-person Planning ForumFootnote 5 in Ottawa (December 6 and 7, 2016)
- Engagement of stakeholders via social media
- Multi-stakeholder working groups, steering committee, and Strategy leaders
- Online consultation on the draft Strategy (April 2017)
In developing the Plant and Animal Health Strategy, and throughout its implementation, partners aim to take into account and leverage the ongoing work under related frameworks and strategies, with a view to maximizing the complementarity of efforts under the Strategy with this ongoing work, and minimizing duplication and overlap. The following table provides a list of frameworks and strategies currently in place or under development; however, it may not be an exhaustive list.
