Risk Management Plan reviews for new drug decisions completed within service standards

Risk Management Plan reviews protect Canadians from preventable hazards, and contribute to effective engagement with partners and stakeholders - in view of the department's reliance on shared responsibilities. This indicator measures post-market effectiveness in providing Canadians with access to safe, effective and quality health products in a timely manner. Risk Management Plan reviews are an important component of improving the health and safety of Canadians.

Population of Canada, 10km Gridded

The Population of Canada, 10km Gridded national scale datasets display the distribution and areal extent of rural, urban and total populations across Canada for both 2011 and 2016. The 10km gridded framework is the same 10km gridded framework used within the Biomass Inventory Mapping and Analysis Tool. This data was created for AAFC by Statistics Canada using AAFC’s 10km gridded framework.   
  
  The purpose of this data is to display the distribution of rural and urban populations across a 10km x 10km grid of Canada.

Automatically Detected Field Boundaries in Canada, 2023

OneSoil employs a proprietary machine learning (ML) model based on state-of-the-art instance segmentation to detect field boundaries. Utilizing raw Sentinel-2 data aggregated according to local vegetation season maps and an additional upscaling module to enhance boundary accuracy, we ensure precise results. OneSoil’s data preprocessing involves the utilization of their cloud detector module and local season mapping.

Use of the territory

The theme of land use offers a complete vision of the various uses of Quebec territory. It is the result of the assembly of various geographic data respecting use and distribution agreements. This product combines information on agricultural, forest, humid, humid, aquatic, anthropogenic environments, as well as on forest cuts and bare soils. This theme is based on data sources such as the ecoforest inventory of southern Quebec, agricultural databases and ecological maps. The accuracy of the product depends on the accuracy of the source layers.  
  
  To access the files, which are hosted on an FTP server, it is recommended to use FileZilla (https://filezilla-project.org/) or Internet Explorer.

Toxicity, Bioconcentration and Maternal Transfer of Short Chain Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonic Acids (PFSAs) and Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylic Acids (PFCAs) in the freshwater snail Planorbella pilsbryi

Laboratory research was completed to assess the relative toxicity of various short-chain PFAS in adult and juvenile freshwater snails. Tests of various duration (7-28 days) and encompassing three life stages (adults, juveniles, and embryos) were completed with three sulfonic acids (PFSAs): perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS), perfluorobutane sulfonic acid (PFBS), and three carboxylic acids (PFCAs): perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA), and perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA). Tissues were preserved to assess bioaccumulation and for later assessment of chronic effects on the metabolome and proteome.


Snail cages were deployed for twenty-eight days downstream of a local Ontario, Canada airport, to assess the effects of PFAS exposure. Water, sediment and tissues were collected for assessing bioaccumulation. Tissues were also collected and preserved for later assessment of chronic effects on the metabolome and proteome, and on the distribution of oxylipids in freshwater snails.


Manuscripts are in progress using these data and will be published in the near future.

The Chemicals Management Plan (CMP) is a Government of Canada initiative aimed at reducing the risks posed by chemicals to Canadians and their environment. A key element of the Chemicals Management Plan is the monitoring and surveillance of levels of harmful chemicals in Canadians and their environment. Monitoring and surveillance are essential to identify and track exposure to hazards in the environment and associated health implications. Monitoring and surveillance programs provide the basis for making sound and effective public health and environmental health policies and interventions, as well as measuring the efficacy of control measures. 


In support of the Chemicals Management Plan, monitoring and surveillance initiatives were established to support Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada scientists, in collaboration with external partners and researchers, to advance our knowledge. This initiative has allowed the Government of Canada to increase its commitment to a number of existing monitoring initiatives, as well as to support new efforts.

Small Commercial Vessel Registry

The Canadian Register of Small Commercial Vessels includes registration information about small non-pleasure vessels powered by an engine of 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) or more and commercial river rafts.

Registration for small non-pleasure human-powered vessels (such as canoes or kayaks), or small sailing vessels and small power-driven vessels with propulsion motors less than 10 horsepower (7.5 kW) is not required, however owners have the option to register voluntarily. 

Vessel owners or operators must still comply with construction, safety, and pollution requirements set out in the Canada Shipping Act, 2001.
