2.2. Importation into Québec of urine or any other by-product of a cervid, except moose, is permitted to the extent that

(1)  the by-product was collected from a cervid in captivity at a keeping facility;

(2)  on the day of collection, there is no reasonable ground to believe that a cervid in captivity at the facility is carrying chronic wasting disease of cervids;

(3)  the analysis provided for in section 134.2 of the Regulation respecting animals in captivity (chapter C-61.1, r. 5.1) was performed, as the case may be, by a laboratory approved by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency using a method approved by the latter, or by a foreign laboratory using the method approved by a competent authority of the foreign state where the facility in which the cervid is kept in captivity is located, on all large cervids over 12 months of age that were kept in captivity at the facility and that died in the 6 years preceding the collection;

(4)  in the 20 years preceding the collection, none of the cervids in captivity at the facility had been diagnosed with chronic wasting disease of cervids;

(5)  in addition to the conditions set out in subparagraphs 1 to 4, at least one of the following conditions is met:

(a)  in the 6 years preceding the collection, no cervids in captivity at a keeping facility within a 45-km radius of the keeping facility holding the cervid from which a by-product was collected, or cervids living in the wild within a 100-km radius of that facility had been diagnosed with chronic wasting disease of cervids;

(b)  on the day of the collection, the perimeter elements of the keeping facility holding the cervid from which the collection was made prevented, for a period of at least 6 years, any contact between the cervids in captivity at the facility and cervids living in the wild;

(6)  in cases where, in the 6 years preceding the collection, a cervid from a different facility was introduced in the facility, on the day the cervid was introduced in the facility, or in the 6 or 20 years prior as the case may be, that other facility met the conditions set out in subparagraphs 2 to 5.

The person importing the urine or by-product of a cervid in Québec must, at the earliest 45 business days and at the latest 10 business days prior to importing, send to the Minister a written notice containing the following documents and information:

(1)  an attestation by an authorized person from the competent authority of the foreign state of origin of the by-product indicating that the conditions set out in the first paragraph are met;

(2)  the scientific binomen of the species of the animal from which the by-product was collected;

(3)  the place from which the by-product is imported;
