Canada announces pesticide review plan during 2015-2020

The Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) recently announced the plan for pesticide re-evaluation decisions of some 65 active ingredients or groups of ais and special reviews of 28 active ingredients from April 2015 to March 2020.

The pesticide re-evaluation program ensures that registered pesticides are reviewed every 15 years using modern assessment techniques and current scientific information. In addition, pesticides may be re-evaluated as a result of new information that could impact their acceptability under the Pest Control Products Act. A special review may also be initiated by the Minister of Health at any time if there are reasonable grounds to believe that the health or environmental risks, or the value, of a pesticide is no longer acceptable. Special reviews differ from re-evaluation in that a special review is intended to examine limited aspects of a pesticide whereas a re-evaluation examines all of the available information.

This five-year work plan may change in response to emerging issues that require priority action. PMRA will publish an updated work plan annually to reflect any necessary revisions. On an annual basis, PMRA will also report on the progress of the re-evaluation and special review programs.

Table 1 and Table 2 provide the lists of the active ingredients and their expected documents included in the Re-evaluation and Special Review Work Plan for 2015-2020.
