Forward Regulatory Plan

The Canadian Dairy Commission’s Forward Regulatory Plan for 2019 to 2021:

  • is a publicly available list, with descriptions, of planned or anticipated regulatory changes (regulatory initiatives) that the Canadian Dairy Commission intends to propose or finalize within a 2 year period
  • may include regulatory initiatives that are planned to come forward over a longer time frame and that are indicated as long-term

Some of the initiatives in this plan may be associated with the Canadian Dairy Commission’s multi year plan to review its existing regulations (Regulatory Stock Review Plan).

Forward Regulatory Plans are intended to help Canadians, including businesses, Indigenous peoples and trading partners, plan for:

  • opportunities to provide their feedback during regulatory development
  • future regulatory changes

The Forward Regulatory Plan briefly describes each regulatory initiative and includes information such as:

  • who may be affected by a regulatory initiative
  • regulatory cooperation efforts undertaken or planned
  • opportunities for public consultation
  • links to related information or analysis
  • the Canadian Dairy Commission’s contact information

The Forward Regulatory Plan will be updated over time to reflect, for example:

  • progress in regulatory development
  • changes to the Canadian Dairy Commission’s regulatory priorities or its operating environment
