A 430-page federal government omnibus budget bill includes a revision that would ban animal testing by the cosmetics industry within six months of being passed into law.

Bill C-47, the Budget Implementation Act, amends multiple federal bills, including the Food and Drugs Act, according to Blacklock’s Reporter on April 24.
