Whereas:
Canadian farmers often wait significantly longer than their international competitors to access innovative agricultural products that have already undergone rigorous scientific review and approval by trusted foreign regulatory authorities
Duplicative regulatory reviews can delay access to agricultural technologies, limiting productivity gains and reducing the ability of Canadian farmers to compete in global markets
Prolonged approval timelines can result in lost economic opportunities for Canadian farmers, agri-businesses, researchers, and innovators by delaying access to products and technologies already available to competitors in comparable jurisdictions
Modernizing regulatory processes can reduce unnecessary duplication while maintaining Canada's high standards for health, safety, and environmental protection
Timely access to proven agricultural innovations can strengthen domestic food security, support farm sustainability, and contribute to a more resilient Canadian agricultural sector.
