This rule applies to both one-time and open permits. Barbiturates and amphetamines come under the classification of controlled drugs. These can be obtained without special permission by practising physicians and veterinarians. All others require permission from the Division of Narcotics Control, Department of National Health and Welfare, Ottawa. When ordering controlled drugs, the Purchase Requisition must be signed in all cases by the person authorized to use the material.
Federal regulations require that all stills be registered and accounted for annually.
At the time of acquisition of such equipment, the Purchasing Agent guarantees compliance with all applicable regulations. Whenever stills are to be transferred or disposed of, it is essential that the Purchasing Agent be notified in advance so that appropriate clearance can be obtained. When ordering livestock, frozen and other perishable goods, departments should endeavour to ensure that delivery will be made at a time when the department is able to accept delivery. Thus, weekends and holidays should be avoided. To arrange a maintenance contract on equipment, or to add new equipment to an existing contract, departments should complete a Purchase Requisition and submit it to Purchasing Services in the usual way.
