ROEB-Digital Transformation

ROEB Transformation is a movement to evolve the Regulatory Operations and Enforcement Branch (ROEB) at Health Canada into the digital era, by all employees for all Canadians.

Today’s regulatory landscape is complex and continually evolving, through rapid scientific innovation, technological advances and global supply chains. ROEB is committed to modernizing and transforming its compliance and enforcement approach to become more agile, assertive, consistent, innovative, proactive and risk-based. The strategic plan sets the vision for being a world class compliance and enforcement leader, as supported by the Multi-year C&E Transformation plan, which directs and coordinates transformation efforts across ROEB’s compliance and enforcement programs. Successful implementation of the MYCET will require consistent, dedicated leadership and accountability from management, including oversight and reporting at the portfolio level.  

Successful transformation relies on the alignment of compliance and enforcement programs’ mindset across the branch, from senior management right through to the front line staff. To do this, the ROEB Transformation Office was created.
