The targeted review of the Pest Control Products Act by all stakeholders through meetings, working groups and online feedback, ended on June 30, 2022.

PMRA is currently advancing a Transformation Agenda. The agenda includes a number of program changes to further strengthen human health and environmental protection through:

• modernized business processes for the review of pesticides
• improved transparency and public access to information and data across the regulatory pesticide processes
• increased use of comprehensive, real-world data on water monitoring, crop production and pesticide use
• and independent scientific advice

To support implementation of these transformation initiatives, and in alignment with the Government's commitments, the targeted review of the related provisions of the Pest Control Products Act was undertaken.

This "Discussion Document" was used to guide the input and Annex 3 provided a list of questions.
