Assisted Human Reproduction Canada (AHRC) was a federal regulatory agency that was established in 2006 to protect and promote the health, safety, dignity and rights of Canadians who use or are born of assisted human reproduction technologies. AHRC was also responsible for fostering an environment in which ethical principles are applied in all matters related to assisted human reproduction, while supporting scientific advances that benefit Canadians. The agency was led by a President and governed by the Board of Directors, who were appointed by the Governor in Council in December 2006. The final head of the agency was President Dr. Elinor Wilson, who served from February 14, 2007 until September 30, 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Organization Profile - Assisted Human Reproduction Canada )〕 The Federal Budget of March 2012 made two references to AHRC:〔http://www.budget.gc.ca/home-accueil-eng.html〕 # The Government will introduce legislation to wind down Assisted Human Reproduction Canada, with final closure of operations by March 31, 2013. The winding down of the Agency responds to the 2010 ruling of the Supreme Court of Canada that significantly reduced the federal role in assisted human reproduction. Health Canada will take over responsibility for any remaining federal functions such as compliance and enforcement, and outreach. # Savings will also be achieved through organizational simplification. The Government will introduce legislation to wind down Assisted Human Reproduction Canada and will integrate it within Health Canada. A standalone agency for this reduced role is no longer justified. Health Canada will assume responsibility for compliance and enforcement related to federal responsibilities, and outreach activities. AHRC’s mandate and responsibilities were set out in the Assisted Human Reproduction Act. ==Roles and responsibilities== AHRC's responsibilities are set out in the Assisted Human Reproduction Act (AHR Act).
