Share your thoughts: Winter 2023 Seed Regulatory Modernization Consultation (excluding seed potatoes)

About the consultation

The purpose of this consultation is to update stakeholders on progress made to date towards modernizing the Seeds Regulations. Your feedback will inform decision-making. 

This consultation is the first of two consultations planned for seed regulatory modernization (SEED-RM) related to seed crops only; it does not include updates or questions specific to seed potatoes or Part II of the Seeds Regulations.

A separate consultation process for the seed potato industry is planned and will include several in-person meetings with a wide cross-section of seed potato stakeholders.
