Biotechnology notices of submission

Submit feedback on a new agricultural product by reviewing its biotechnology notice of submission.

How your feedback will be used

Scientific questions or information will be forwarded to CFIA and Health Canada evaluators for consideration in the safety assessment. Non-scientific input will be evaluated and appropriate ways of addressing it will be explored.

Subject to your consent, we will forward comments to developers whose products are being assessed. Your comments may be posted online by the CFIA and Health Canada. Developers will not be given your name, email or postal address, nor will any personal information be posted online by the CFIA or Health Canada. Please indicate your consent if sending comments by mail.

All personal information shall be treated in accordance with the Privacy Act and the Access to Information Act. Learn more about transparency around biotechnology.

Background

Biotechnology notices of submission are submitted by members of CropLife Canada — an industry association that represents approximately 85% of industry plant biotechnology developers in Canada. Applicable developers and members of CropLife Canada volunteer to write notices of submission to:

• share product information about plants with novel traits, novel feeds and novel foods
• give the public an opportunity to provide input on the safety assessment of each submission
• increase transparency and confidence in the regulatory process

There is no requirement for all companies to post notices of submission in the acts and regulations administered by the CFIA and Health Canada.

Next steps

A list of all authorized plants with novel traits and novel feeds derived therefrom is available. Accompanying decision documents are also available for all authorized plants with novel traits and novel feeds derived therefrom.
