Regulatory initiatives

The Biologic and Radiopharmaceutical Drugs Directorate (BRDD) applies the Food and Drug Regulations under the authority of the Food and Drugs Act to ensure that drugs defined by Schedule C and Schedule D of the Act for human use in Canada are safe, effective and of high quality.

The BRDD is committed to developing any new regulations, policies, and guidelines in consultation with stakeholders and interested parties. The links provided introduce the regulatory initiatives. Further information on Federal Acts and Regulations is available on the Department of Justice Canada website.
