Order Amending the Order Imposing Conditions in Relation to Secondary Control Zones In Respect of African Swine Fever – removal of Czech Republic

Whereas:

• On March 19, 2019, secondary control zones were declared by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food under subsection 27.1(2) of the Health of Animals Act in respect of African swine fever;
• On March 29, 2019, an order was made under subsection 27.1(3) of that Act designating things as being capable of being affected or contaminated by African swine fever;
• On March 29, 2019, an order (referred to in this order as the "conditions order") was made under subsection 27.1(4) of that Act imposing conditions on removing from, moving within or taking into one of those secondary control zones a thing designated by the order made under subsection 27.1(3) referred to above that originates from a state listed in the Schedule attached to the conditions order,
• The Minister has the power under section 27.3 of that Act to, by order, amend an order made under subsection 27.1(4) of that Act; and
• As an inspector, I have the authority under section 33 of that Act to exercise the authority of the Minister under section 27.3 of that Act to amend an order made under subsection 27.1(4) of that Act;

Therefore, by this order, I amend the conditions order by removing "Czech Republic" from the list of states of origin in the Schedule attached to the conditions order.

Signed at Ottawa, April 14, 2021.

Dr. Martin Appelt, Inspector
