Licenses to sell livestock medicines (O. Reg. 584/20).

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.
A licence is subject to the following conditions: 1. The licensee must have a place in Ontario for the storage of livestock medicines sold under the licence. 2. The licensee shall display a copy of the licence at the place at which the licensee’s livestock medicines are stored, and any place at which livestock medicines are sold in person by or on behalf of the licensee. 3. If the licensee sells livestock medicines online, the licensee must ensure that the licence number is prominently displayed on the website. 4. In the case of a sale of any livestock medicine bearing a warning or caution on the label, the licensee must draw the purchaser’s attention to the warning or caution. 5. The licensee must not sell a livestock medicine, to any person other than the owner of livestock or a person acting on behalf of the owner, or for any purpose other than the treatment of livestock. 6. The licensee must provide notice to the director of any changes to the information required in an application for a licence to sell livestock medicines under subsection 3 (2).
