October 23, 2023 | Documents
NCFA, along with several industry partners, have submitted a letter to the Standing Committee on Health’s study on Bill C-293, an Act respecting pandemic prevention and preparedness.
We support the overall objective of Bill C-293, an Act respecting pandemic prevention and preparedness, which is to support pandemic preparedness, including measures that aim to enhance transparency regarding readiness levels and efforts that seek to strengthen Canada’s domestic manufacturing capacity with respect to any products relevant to pandemic production. The COVID-19 pandemic clearly illustrated the importance of strong domestic supply chains which ensure a continuous supply of essential goods to Canadians.
