At the federal level, pesticide products, approved uses, labels, and national pesticide regulations are managed by Health Canada through the Pesticide Regulatory Directorate (formerly PMRA). These federal regulations establish how pesticide products may be registered, labelled, sold, and used across Canada.
Federal regulatory oversight includes pesticide product registration, approved product uses, compliance monitoring, inspections, incident investigations, and enforcement activities related to pesticide use across Canada.
