Use of pesticides in agriculture: Information from Health Canada | Mar. 2026

Health Canada's Pesticide Compliance Program (PCP) is responsible for promoting, monitoring and enforcing the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA). The primary objective of the PCPA is to prevent unacceptable risks to human health and the environment from the use of pest control products, also known as pesticides, which can also be further regulated by provinces, territories, and municipalities in Canada. This document offers guidance and resources for all agricultural pesticide users, including a section outlining key requirements that are specific to greenhouse operations.
