The Pest Risk Assessment is a crucial document required by Canadian authorities to evaluate and manage potential threats from plant pests to agricultural, horticultural, and natural resources. This assessment is mandated under various Canadian federal and provincial regulations, including the Plant Protection Act and aligned with international standards. The document is typically initiated when new pests are identified, trade pathways change, or existing pest risks need re-evaluation. It provides a systematic analysis of pest characteristics, potential impacts, and management options, serving as a foundation for policy decisions and regulatory actions. The assessment must incorporate current scientific data, stakeholder input, and consideration of economic, environmental, and social factors while maintaining compliance with Canadian and international phytosanitary requirements.
