Under the authority of the 
Pest Control Products Act, Health Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) is proposing to establish maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides on commodities that are currently registered in Canada and covered under the general MRL1 of 0.1 parts per million (ppm) for residues of pest control products in or on foods.
In accordance with the steps outlined in the Information Note published in December 2009 entitled Progress on Minimizing Reliance on the 0.1 Parts per Million as a General Maximum Residue Limit for Food Pesticide Residue, this PMRL is part of on-going efforts to minimize reliance on the general MRL.
Health Canada is proposing to establish specific, science-based MRLs using more recently reviewed U.S. MRLs/Tolerances at or below 0.1 ppm where analysis has shown that the pesticide/commodity use patterns in the respective jurisdictions are consistent and there are no active submissions involving the setting of specific MRLs for these pesticides. These proposed MRLs are equivalent to, or more stringent than, the current general MRL and more accurately reflect the current use pattern. This action does not impact human health or the environment.
An MRL applies to the identified raw agricultural food commodity as well as to any processed food product that contains it, except where separate MRLs are specified for the raw agricultural commodity and a processed product made from it.
Consultation on the proposed MRLs is being conducted via this document (see Next Steps, the last section in this document).
To comply with Canada's international trade obligations, consultation on the proposed MRLs is also being conducted internationally by notifying the World Trade Organization, as coordinated by the Standards Council of Canada.

Next Steps
The PMRA invites the public to submit written comments on the proposed MRLs up to 75 days from the date of publication of this document. Please forward your comments to Publications (see the contact information on the cover page of this document). The PMRA will consider all comments received before making a final decision on the proposed MRLs and posting a corresponding Established Maximum Residue Limit document in the Pesticides and Pest Management section of Health Canada's website.
