G/SPS/N/CAN/1047 (dated 8 August 2016) was adopted 2 November 2016. The proposed MRLs 
were established via entry into the Maximum Residue Limits Database and are provided directly 
below:  
MRL (ppm )1 Raw Agricultural Comm odity (RAC) and/or Processed Commodity  
20 Leafy vegetables (Crop Group 4 -13)2, mint tops  
8.0 Leaf petioles vegetables (Crop Subgroup 22B)  
4.0 Brassica  head and stem vegetable group (Crop Group 5 -13)3

3 This MRL is to replace the current established MRLs on CSG 5A and 5B. The new proposed MRL is to be

8 This MRL is to replace the current established MRL of 0.01 ppm on milk.  
MRLs are established for each commodity included in the list ed crop groupings in accordance with 
the Residue Chemistry Crop Groups  webpage ( http://www.hc -sc.gc.ca/cps -spc/pest/part/protect -
proteger/food -nourriture/rccg -gcpcr -eng.php ) in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of 
Health Canada's website.  
MRLs established in Canada may be found using Health Canada's Maximum Residue Limit 
Database (http://pr -rp.hc-sc.gc.ca/mrl -lrm/index -eng.php ) on the Maximum Residue Limits for 
Pesticides  webpage ( http://www.hc -sc.gc.ca/cps -spc/pest/part/pro tect-proteger/food -G/SPS/N/CAN/1047/Add.1
