RECOMMENDATION |
|
|
|
Her Excellency the Governor General recommends to the House of
Commons the appropriation of public revenue under the circumstances,
in the manner and for the purposes set out in a measure entitled ``An Act
respecting assisted human reproduction''.
|
|
|
|
SUMMARY |
|
|
|
This enactment prohibits assisted reproduction procedures that are
considered to be ethically unacceptable. Other types of assisted
reproduction procedures are prohibited unless carried out in
accordance with a licence and the regulations, which will address health
and safety concerns. The creation and use of embryos for research
purposes is also addressed. A privacy regime governs the collection,
use and disclosure of health reporting information.
|
|
|
|
The enactment creates the Assisted Human Reproduction Agency of
Canada. The Agency will provide advice to the Minister of Health on
the matters governed by the enactment. It will also be responsible for the
issuance and review of licences, the collection and analysis of health
reporting information, inspections and the enforcement of the
enactment.
|
|
|
|
The enactment creates offences for contravention of the provisions
of the enactment, the regulations made under it or the terms and
conditions of a licence.
