Ontario provincially notifiable hazards

Reporting and compensation regulations under the Animal Health Act (http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/statutes/english/elaws_statutes_09a31_e.htm) help Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) detect and respond to animal health events in a timely manner.  The reporting regulation requires that animal health laboratories and veterinarians report certain animal health hazards to OMAFRA immediately and annually.
