Notice to the reader: The online consultation is now closed. Comments and suggestions received during the public consultation period are being considered in the finalization of this document. The final report will be made available as soon as possible.
A number of multi-stakeholder-led initiatives have recommended modernizing Canada's pesticide data protection system to encourage innovation and timely grower access to competitively priced generic pesticides.
