Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act
  • Bill C-293, known as the Pandemic Prevention and Preparedness Act, aims to prevent and prepare for future pandemics in Canada. It requires the Minister of Health to establish an advisory committee to review the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and make recommendations for future preparedness efforts. The Minister of Health must also create a pandemic prevention and preparedness plan in collaboration with other ministers, which includes strategies for preventing disease outbreaks, collaboration with provincial governments and Indigenous communities, and training programs. The bill also amends the Department of Health Act to appoint a national pandemic prevention and preparedness coordinator. The plan and updates must be tabled in Parliament and published on the Department of Health website.

Prohibition of Fur Farming
  • Bill C-247, also known as the Prohibition of Fur Farming Act, aims to establish prohibitions and offences related to fur farming. It prohibits owning, operating, breeding, inseminating, slaughtering, giving, renting, selling, or transporting fur-bearing animals for commercial purposes. Anyone who violates these prohibitions can be fined up to $250,000 or imprisoned for up to two years. The court may also make additional orders, such as prohibiting the accused from owning or residing with an animal and requiring them to pay for the costs incurred by an organization taking care of a fur-bearing animal. Fur-bearing animals may be forfeited to the government and must be disposed of as directed by the Minister. The Act will come into force one year after it receives royal assent.
