Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution
- The Feeds Act, as amended by Bill C-18, will authorize the CFIA to require preventive control programs in feed manufacturing establishments. ANAC supports this measure, provided a system of differential oversight is implemented, to enable the regulator to focus its attention where most needed.
Policies or Program, Regulation
- ANAC is participating in an industry-government process aimed at modernizing the Feeds Regulations. ANAC is in regular contact with CFIA to communicate the feed industry's position on regulatory renewal.
The association's position is that a modernized feeds regulation should focus on safety, foster innovation and competitiveness and provide adequate consumer protection. Redundant, outdated and unnecessary regulatory barriers should be removed.
ANAC is also working with CFIA on ensuring that policies and programs are developed and updated regularly to follow the fast pace of innovation in our industry. Having timely access to new feed ingredients is key to our livestock producers being successful.
- ANAC is participating in consultations and dialogue with Health Canada looking at Veterinary Drugs Regulations and Policy changes as it relates to animal nutrition and feed production.
- ANAC is participating in discussions related to ongoing labour and transportation issues causing supply change issue which negatively impacting our industry. The effective movement of goods is essential to ensuring our industry can continue to supply Canadian livestock with safe and nutritious feed. Having access to reliable transportation (rail, truck, marine) and labour is needed.
