Extend dairy plant licences by four months past the deadline to provide inspectors with additional time to conduct plant inspections, which are required for licencing;
Extend milk, cream and bulk tank milk grader certificates by twelve months past the deadline to provide additional time to safely conduct required training courses;
Remove outdated references to Ontario Regulation 60/09: Standards of Care and Administrative Standards under the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and replace them with references to Ontario Regulation 444/19: Standards of Care and Administrative Requirements under the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, 2019, and
