Notice of consultation published pursuant to subsection 108.1(2) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 for four lines of gene-edited pigs

Notice is hereby given that the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health are currently assessing four lines of gene-edited pigs, pursuant to subsection 108(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999,^{footnote 1} and invite, pursuant to subsection 108.1(1) of that Act, any interested persons to submit comments from June 20 to July 20, 2025.

Background

The New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms) help protect people living in Canada and the environment, as they allow for the assessment of new living organisms, including higher organisms such as pigs, prior to their introduction into the Canadian marketplace. Following a New Substances Notification, Environment and Climate Change Canada and Health Canada carry out a joint assessment process to determine whether there is a potential for risk to the environment and human health.

In June 2023, Bill S-5, Strengthening Environmental Protection for a Healthier Canada Act, received royal assent, amending the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 by introducing, among other things, new obligations concerning living organisms new to Canada. For instance, consultation is now mandatory for all assessments conducted under subsection 108(1) or (2) in respect of a vertebrate animal or a prescribed living organism or group of living organisms before the end of the assessment period.

Consultation

The New Substances program is currently evaluating four lines of porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus resistant pigs — notified by Genus PLC on April 22, 2025. A summary of the notification and details on how to participate are available on the Government of Canada website.
