2. Submission of food additive application to Health Canada

based on survey responses, only eight breweries were estimated to be impacted. based on a review of the application form, the average time to apply to Health Canada was estimated at 2.5 hours. The time includes writing a cover letter and completing the food additive submission checklist, but excludes any potential time for gathering information that may also need to be included in the package. A follow-up information request was sent to a sample of survey respondents in an attempt to collect this information. The response indicated that the time will be highly dependent on the specific products/additives affected (which is currently unknown), and from where the information will be sourced. Therefore, due to lack of information, any potential costs for the gathering of information could not be estimated.

Table 5 presents the estimates of the administrative impacts for the “One-for-One” Rule.
