Calendar of engagement on the self-care framework priorities

Health Canada is modernizing how we regulate self-care products. These proposed regulatory changes aim to:

• help consumers make more informed choices and support the safe use of self-care products by improving labelling on natural health products (which is based on the approach used for non-prescription drugs)
• establish risk-based rules for all self-care products, which will reduce the regulatory burden and associated costs to industry

This calendar aims to increase transparency by listing upcoming and completed engagement events on the self-care framework priorities.

Please note that, as standard practice, the Natural and Non-prescription Health Products Directorate will continue to invite relevant stakeholders to these sessions.

The types of sessions include:

• Virtual engagement session: information is shared virtually with stakeholders to solicit discussion and seek feedback.
• Engagement session: information is shared in person with stakeholders to solicit discussion and seek feedback.
• Virtual information session: information is presented virtually and stakeholders are able to ask questions.
• Information session: information is presented in person and stakeholders are able to ask questions.
• Formal public consultation: engagement is related to a formal publication in Canada Gazette, Parts 1 and 2

You may email any questions about engagement opportunities to nnhpd.consultation-dpsnso.sc@hc-sc.gc.ca.

Note: This calendar is updated regularly, so please check back often.
