Forward Regulatory Plan 2022-2024: Regulations Amending the Licensed Dealers for Controlled Drugs and Narcotics (Veterinary Use) Fees Regulations
Title of Regulatory Initiative
Regulations Amending the Licensed Dealers for Controlled Drugs and Narcotics (Veterinary Use) Fees Regulations
Enabling Act
Description
Health Canada is proposing amendments to the Licensed Dealers for Controlled Drugs and Narcotics (Veterinary Use) Fees Regulations to create consistency in use of terminology, remove discretionary language and clarify when fees are due for first-year licensees for veterinary drugs.
The amendments address inconsistencies raised by the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations.
Regulatory cooperation efforts (domestic and international)
This initiative is not part of a formal regulatory cooperation work plan.
Potential impacts on Canadians, including businesses
The proposed amendments are administrative in nature, and are expected to have minimal impact on the regulated industry or the Canadian public.
Consultations
Health Canada plans to seek an exemption from pre-publication in the Canada Gazette, Part I. Health Canada plans to publish the final amendments in Canada Gazette, Part II, in summer/fall 2022
Industry and stakeholders were consulted in February 2022.

Related information on guidance for Licensed Dealers of Controlled Substances can be found on Health Canada’s website.
