Proposal to amend the List of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for Veterinary Drugs in Foods (Proposed MRL 2016-2)

This notification is further to the SPS Notification (G/SPS/N/CAN/597/Add.2), where the Minister of Health has issued a Ministerial Regulation entitled "Marketing Authorization (MA) for Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for Veterinary Drugs in Foods" pursuant to section 30.3(1) and 30.5(1) of the Food and Drugs Act.
The online "List of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for Veterinary Drugs in Foods" http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/vet/mrl-lmr/mrl-lmr_versus_new-nouveau-eng.php (referred hereafter as the List) is incorporated by reference and is maintained on Health Canada's website. Any proposed changes will continue to be the subject of consultation, public and international notification, and the List will then be updated administratively.
The purpose of this proposal is to notify of a consultation on proposed amendments to the List specifically to address MRLs established in cattle and their applicability to veal calves.
