Instrument Type:
Regulation - LGIC
Bill or Act:
Pesticides Act; Environmental Protection Act
Summary of Decision:
We made changes to modernize the pesticides licensing program and this allows us to provide online service delivery. This will make the program more efficient and transparent and will ensure protection of human health and the environment.
Analysis of Regulatory Impact:
A costing analysis was carried out by the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change in conjunction with the Ministry of Economic Development and Growth, and it was found that the total administrative cost savings associated with bringing the pesticide licence application process from paper-based to electronic service delivery would be approximately $177,900 annually.
