These meetings will address the amendment to the Health of Animal’s Regulations, under the Health of Animals Act, in order to incorporate aquatic animals and provide them with similar disease control coverage as currently provided to Canada’s terrestrial animals. As this is a new regulatory framework for aquatic animal health, CFIA is embarking on a cross-country consultation process aimed at meeting with all provinces and territories as well as key industry stakeholders.

The meetings are aimed at gathering comments on the proposed regulatory changes from all stakeholder perspectives and addressing them as appropriate.

  • Dr Peter McKenzie, National Manager, Import/Export
  • Dr Sharon McGladdery, Director of the Aquatic Animal Health Division
  • Dr Brian Peart, Regulatory Officer and Dr Andrea Osborn will be attending from CFIA.
  • Staff from Fisheries and Oceans Canada will also be in attendance.
