From the date of its issue, a person’s transitional slaughterhouse permit replaces the permit issued under paragraph 1 or 2 of section 1.3.5.B.1 of the Regulation respecting food (chapter P-29, r. 1) that the person already holds for the operation of a plant that prepares meat or meat products derived from animals slaughtered in a slaughterhouse that the person was until then operating without a permit.
