International Cooperation
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.
