The Plant Biosafety Office of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is the Canadian regulatory authority responsible for environmental safety assessments of plants with novel traits (PNTs), including living modified organisms (LMOs) as defined by the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, intended for release into the environment, such as food crops, trees, and horticultural plants.

A plant is considered to be a PNT if:

it exhibits characteristics that were not previously observed in it;
it no longer exhibits characteristics that were previously observed in it; or
one or more characteristics of the plant no longer fall within the anticipated range for the plant.

All animate products of biotechnology, including LMOs, must be notified to the appropriate Canadian regulatory authority and assessed for their potential to harm the environment prior to their import, manufacture or sale in Canada. For more information on the Canadian regulatory framework for new substances, of which LMOs are a subset, please follow the link below to the Government of Canada fact sheet entitled Regulatory Roadmap for New Substances in Canada.
