How will unsafe products be stopped at the borders?
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) is responsible for stopping goods at the border. Health Canada enjoys an excellent working relationship with the CBSA. This relationship, combined with a written Service Agreement, has been particularly effective in preventing prohibited products from entering Canada and also in facilitating additional targeted inspections of both particular kinds of products and of shipments from companies with histories of poor compliance. Inspections will continue to be conducted according to a strategic risk assessment approach. Health Canada will continue to strengthen its relationship with the CBSA to stop dangerous consumer products at the border.
