The Canadian Biotechnology Advisory
Committee (CBAC) reports to the Biotechnology Ministerial
Coordinating Committee (BMCC) which is coordinated by the Minister of
Industry and is comprised of the Ministers of Agriculture and Agri-Food
Canada, Health, Environment, Natural Resources Canada, Fisheries &
Oceans and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.
CBAC's mandate is to advise BMCC on the
full range of policy issues related to the development and application
of biotechnology in Canada associated with the ethical, social,
regulatory, economic, environmental and health aspects of biotechnology.
In doing so, CBAC will identify and assess emerging and strategic policy
issues related to biotechnology, and prioritize and conduct research in
support of this advisory role.
Le CCCB fournit des conseils d’experts
au gouvernement fédéral sur les aspects éthique, social, réglementaire,
économique, scientifique, environnemental et de santé de la
biotechnologie. |
