The Electronic Pesticide Regulatory System, dubbed e-PRS, offers a new approach to information management and will enable the PMRA to continue the evolution from a completely paper-based system to a sophisticated system using information technology.
The electronic system will transform pesticide regulation in Canada by allowing companies to conduct secure web-based transactions when submitting applications and to provide essential health and environmental data to the PMRA more quickly using the Internet and the Government of Canada’s On-Line secure channel service.
e-PRS will also strengthen the PMRA’s ability to process, review and report
to the public on pesticide information as required under the new Pest
Control Products Act. Efficiencies gained through electronic information management
processes are key to the Agency's commitment to
modernizing the registration system and in particular electronic delivery on
the transparency requirements of the PCPA 2002.
