As of April 22, 2015 the container size requirements in the Dairy Products Regulations (DPR), the Maple Products Regulations (MPR) and the Fish Inspection Regulations (FIR) are repealed. This is the first stage in a commitment made by the Canadian government in its 2012 federal budget in which the Canadian Government committed to “repeal regulations related to container standards to enable industry to take advantage of new packaging formats and technologies, while removing any unnecessary barrier for the importation of new products”.
