This provision in this standard of a 15-day requirement to table in Parliament is set out elsewhere in federal legislation. It also appears in the Quarantine Act and the Food and Drugs Act. The purpose of this is for the minister to take prompt action to address a serious and imminent danger to the health and safety of the public. The minster is required to table within 15 days, and that's the standard set out elsewhere in legislation.
On March 31st, 2009. See this statement in context.
