Description of the Horizontal Initiative
The vision of the Canadian Biotechnology Strategy (CBS) is to “enhance the quality of life of Canadians in terms of health, safety, the environment, and social and economic development by positioning Canada as a responsible world leader in biotechnology.”
Acting within the CBS pillars of stewardship, citizen engagement and innovation, this document reports on three strategic initiatives: the CBS Fund, the Canadian Regulatory System for Biotechnology (CRSB) and the Genomics Research and Development (Genomics R&D) program. Each of these initiatives focuses on a different aspect of Canada's biotechnology-related priorities, involving separate program management and resource allocation, as well as the profiling of initiatives that are linked through the CBS governance structure.
Shared Outcome(s)
Biotechnology applications are influencing the way our society and economy are evolving. The pace of science is presenting great opportunities for new markets and new solutions to the challenges faced by humankind. However, these advances also present choices and challenges that demand an effective and forward-looking regulatory system.
The shared outcome of the CBS is to ensure that the Government of Canada exercises its responsibilities to ensure that biotechnology will continue to enhance Canadians' quality of life in terms of health, safety, the environment, and social and economic development.
Each CBS initiative focuses on different aspects of the strategy.
CBS Fund The CBS Fund provides core policy and management funding for the CBS. The fund enables leading-edge, cross-cutting policy development and analysis for the departments and agencies that are signatories to the CBS. It also provides funds for the expert arm's-length advice provided to the government by the Canadian Biotechnology Advisory Committee (CBAC). The CBS Fund supports horizontal management, accountability and results reporting.
For 2006–2007, $6.0 million will be allocated to federal departments and agencies to deliver the annual work plan approved by the Biotechnology ADM Coordinating Committee (BACC). The focus is on policies to capture the benefits of biotechnology for Canada, manage the risks and engage Canadians on issues arising from this enabling technology. Strategic priorities this year include new approaches for biotechnology stewardship, an increased web presence, engagement of Canadians and support for the commercialization of biotechnology products in the emerging bioeconomy.
CRSB The Canadian Regulatory System for Biotechnology (CRSB) was established in 2000 to enhance Canada's regulatory capacity and to ensure that Canadians have an efficient, credible and well-respected biotechnology regulatory system that safeguards health and the environment as a priority and, thereby, permits safe and effective products to enter the market.
The strategic objectives of the CRSB are to meet technical capacity and human resource needs; improve public awareness of and confidence in the regulatory system; increase the efficiency, effectiveness and timeliness of the regulatory system; and generate knowledge to support the regulatory system.
Genomics R&D Biotechnology research related to genome sciences (the study of genes and their interactions) continues, providing new methods for managing agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture; enhancing stewardship and conservation activities; and developing new methods of disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention. In 2006–2007, six departments and agencies (National Research Council Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Health Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Environment Canada, and Fisheries and Oceans Canada) will continue to participate in the Genomics R&D Initiative.
The objective of the Genomics R&D program is to build the capacity inside government laboratories to do this new type of biotechnology research, which will strengthen the regulatory system and bring the benefits of revolutionary advances in research and technology to a variety of Canadian industrial sectors and regions. The new technologies are having a dramatic impact on industrial competitiveness and economic growth. They are also expected to bring significant social benefits, such as better therapeutics, a cleaner environment and better management of natural resources.
