Veterinary Biologics Program Service Standards

(The service standards refer to VBS calendar days, unless specified otherwise)

 

  In fiscal year 2007–2008, the Veterinary Biologics Section made significant progress in eliminating backlogs, and is now meeting service standards for all key indicators, with very few exceptions. To address stakeholders’ concerns about capacity and timeliness of the regulatory approval process for animal health products, the CFIA Veterinary Biologics Section has formed a Canadian Animal Health Products Regulatory Advisory Committee (CAHPRAC) in collaboration with Health Canada’s Veterinary Drugs Directorate.
