Forward Regulatory Plan 2023-2025: Updates to Fees in Respect of Drugs and Medical Devices
Title of Regulatory Initiative
Updates to Fees in Respect of Drugs and Medical Devices
Enabling Act
Description
Health Canada is proposing amendments to the Fees in Respect of Drugs and Medical Devices Order. Proposed amendments would reflect Health Canada's review of its cost recovery regime for human drugs and medical devices, and would better reflect current costs of program delivery.
Regulatory cooperation efforts (domestic and international)
This initiative is not part of a formal regulatory cooperation work plan.
Potential impacts on people in Canada, including businesses
There may be business impacts, as the revised fees would apply to businesses involved in the sale of certain health products in Canada.
Consultations
Health Canada plans to publish the amended Order in the Canada Gazette, Part ll, which is expected to take place in fall 2024.
Consultations, including publication of a fee proposal, are targeted for 2024 and will be done prior to publishing in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
Further information
Additional information on this proposal may be requested from the departmental contact.
