Cross-reference updated for notices of violation linked to Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

A single internal cross-reference in the Agriculture and Agri-Food Administrative Monetary Penalties Act has been updated. Where the Act previously pointed to subsection 11(5) of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act to identify when the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness handles a notice of violation, it now points to section 11.2 of that Act. This is a housekeeping change that realigns the reference to match the current numbering in the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Act. Operators and businesses subject to administrative monetary penalties under agri-food legislation are not directly affected in practice, but compliance and legal teams tracking the legislative framework should note the updated cross-reference.
