Which agency administers the Pest Control Products Act?

Explanation:
The Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) is the agency that administers the Pest Control Products Act. PMRA is the regulatory arm of Health Canada and is specifically responsible for regulating pest control products in Canada—everything from registration and evaluation of safety and effectiveness to labeling and ongoing compliance. Alberta Environment is a provincial body and does not administer federal pest control legislation. Environment Canada (now Environment and Climate Change Canada) handles broader environmental programs but not the administration of this pesticide Act. Health Canada is the department that PMRA sits under, but the actual administering authority for this Act is PMRA itself.
