The CFIA
helps Canada fulfill its commitment to being a good global citizen by
engaging with other governments and international institutions. This
allows us to promote the safe, science-based regulation of biotechnology-
derived agricultural products.
Officials from the CFIA meet regularly with their counterparts from other
countries in a variety of fora. This gives our regulators the chance
to learn from the experiences of other countries and it gives other countries
the opportunity to learn about Canada's regulatory system. This dialogue
helps us acquire new skills and capabilities, which help us do our jobs better
and allow us to keep pace with changes in the constantly evolving field of
biotechnology.
The following pages describe some of the international initiatives the
CFIA has
undertaken.
