CFIA Consultation - Incorporation by Reference
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is considering guiding principles in its approach for choosing the documents to be recommended for incorporation by reference, specifically under the new Safe Food for Canadians Act. The new Act provides explicit authority for the incorporation of any document, regardless of its source, into the regulations.
As such, the CFIA is seeking feedback from stakeholders on its "Incorporation by Reference” discussion document. The consultation will begin on May 28, 2014 and will be open for 60 days. It will end on July 28, 2014.
