Abstract

The sale of a livestock medicine to the owner of livestock, or to another person acting on the owner’s behalf, for the treatment of the livestock is an activity for which a licence is required for the purposes of subsection 48 (9) of the Act, if the sale is made by any person other than, (a) a person authorized to sell the livestock medicine under the Drug and Pharmacies Regulation Act; (b) a veterinarian licenced to practice veterinary medicine under the Veterinarians Act; or (c) a person selling feeding stuffs registered under the Feeds Act (Canada) and sold in accordance with that Act. Application for a licence needs to be done to the Director appointed under section 6 of the Act. A licence is issued for the lifetime of the licensee (no expiry) and is not transferrable. The Director may suspend or revoke a licence if certain conditions are met.
