The responses and the information that were provided previously at committee remain accurate in the sense that it noted that the preamble to the CFIA Act includes a mention of economic factors.
Bill C-30 will formalize that and clarify it in the text of the CFIA Act more properly to include factors such as supporting regulatory compliance, contributing to public awareness and consumer protection, and considering national and regional economic and food security factors. Those things will be formally included in the text of the bill rather than in the preamble.
