Under which law are pesticides transport rules defined?

Pesticide transport rules are defined by the Pesticides Act and its General Regulation. This legislation provides the authority and the specific requirements for moving pesticides, including how products must be packaged, labeled, and documented for transport, the responsibilities of those handling or shipping pesticides, and the penalties for non-compliance. The other acts cover different areas: environmental protection broadly, foods and drugs safety, and vehicle standards, but they do not define the specific rules for transporting pesticides. (Note: when moving pesticides, you may also encounter federal or international dangerous goods rules, but the provincial framework starts with the Pesticides Act and General Regulation.)
