EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Notice.)
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency Fees Notice (CFIA Fees Notice) sets out the fees that have been fixed by the Minister of Health under subsection 24(1) and section 25 of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act for services or the use of a facility provided by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or in respect of products, rights and privileges provided by the CFIA.
As a result of the feeds regulatory modernization, which repealed the Feeds Regulations, 1983 and replaced them with the Feeds Regulations, 2024, the CFIA Fees Notice needs to be amended. Particularly, the service descriptions found in Part 4: Feeds Fees in the CFIA Fees Notice need to reflect new clearer terminology used in the Regulations, particularly around the assessment process for single ingredient feeds and mixed feeds. General improvements are also needed to the layout of the services table, which stakeholders have noted is confusing.
Under the previous Regulations, the application requirements and assessment processes were combined for both single ingredient feeds and mixed feeds and were not well defined. An updated, clearer and broader permissions approach for feeds was established in the new Regulations, namely for the “approval” of single ingredient feeds and “registration” of mixed feeds. Both processes will continue to require assessment and permission before products can enter the marketplace. As a result, only changes to service descriptions are needed and there will be no changes to the actual fees.
The table to Part 4 of the CFIA Fees Notice will be repealed and replaced with a new table with an improved structure, and updated terminology and regulatory references to align with the Feeds Regulations, 2024. The changes to Part 4 of the CFIA Fees Notice include
- (a) Reflecting new terminology for the permissions approach for single ingredient feeds and mixed feeds. Language will align with the regulations that require the approval of most single ingredient feeds and that required registration of mixed feeds and some single ingredients feeds.
- (b) Restructuring the table by service, rather than by product. These services include approval, registration, renewal, and amendment. A description of products that require approval and/or registration will be included for clarity.
- (c) Making reference to new documents that have been incorporated by reference into the Feeds Regulations, 2024. Namely, for the purpose of listing approved single ingredient feeds, the reference to Schedule IV and V of the Feeds Regulations, 1983 will be replaced with a reference to the Canadian Feed Ingredients Table. For the purpose of assessing a claim that is not pre-approved, the reference to paragraphs 26(11)(c) and 28(c) of the Feeds Regulations, 1983 will be replaced with a reference to the Table of permissible claims for feeds labels.
- (d) Removing temporary registration as that concept was removed from the Feeds Regulations, 2024 and therefore that service is no longer offered by the CFIA.
These changes to the CFIA Fees Notice will not generate any additional benefits or costs to stakeholders beyond those already attributed to Feeds Regulations, 2024. These changes simply align the descriptions in the CFIA Fees Notice with the updated Regulations.
The CFIA engaged stakeholders extensively on the new Feeds Regulations, 2024, including the modernization of the application and assessment process. Consultations included industry working groups, annual stakeholder meetings, online consultations, as well as through the public comment period following the prepublication in the Canada Gazette, Part I. Stakeholders broadly support the regulatory proposal, recognizing the need to update the existing Regulations and to improve clarity and transparency in regard to the assessment process for feed products.
This is the first of two phases to update the CFIA Fees Notice as a result of amendments to regulations for feeds. In this first phase, changes are limited to description of service fees and changes to fee amounts are not being proposed through these amendments. The CFIA will follow up with a second phase of updates to the CFIA Fees Notice for feeds for the addition of fees for licenses and licence renewals. The CFIA will consult with stakeholders in the development of these new fees.

If the CBSA determines that the expiry of the order in respect of any goods is likely to result in the continuation or resumption of dumping or subsidizing, the Tribunal will then determine if the continued or resumed dumping or subsidizing is likely to result in injury to the domestic industry. The CBSA will provide notice of its determinations within 150 days after receiving notice of the Tribunal’s initiation of the expiry review, that is, no later than November 21, 2024. The Tribunal will issue its order and its statement of reasons no later than April 30, 2025.
