Pesticide Regulation in Canada
Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency, has the mandate to protect human health and the environment by minimizing the risks associated with pest control products, while enabling access to pest management tools.
Pesticides sold, used and imported into Canada are regulated under the Pest Control Product Act (PCPA). The Agency is responsible for administering the Act, registering pest control products, re-evaluating registered products and setting maximum residue limits under the Food and Drug Act.
Children’s health  , is one of the main priorities when it comes to pesticide regulation in Canada. Health Canada's primary goal is to minimize any possible risks to human health including those of children and other sensitive populations.
