Antimicrobial Resistance: The Context
• Multiple federal initiatives are underway on both the human and veterinary sides of AMR in a coordinated manner (“One Health” approach)
• Federal Framework (2014) and Action Plan (2015), HC Notice of Intent in CGI (2015), OAG report and HC commitments (2015), ongoing engagement with all stakeholders (throughout 2015)
• Proposed policy and regulatory initiatives aimed at strengthening prudent use of Medically-Important Antimicrobials (MIAs) in animal health are under development at the federal level
• Guiding principles: Minimising any impact on access to needed products, aligning internationally, and working collaboratively with all affected parties are key guiding principles for this work
