Environmental Assessment Regulations Programme

On September 1st, 2001, Health Canada published a Notice of Intent in Canada Gazette Part I to inform Canadians of the department's intention to proceed with developing new regulations for environmental assessments of products regulated under the Food and Drugs Act toward ensuring compliance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (for more information on CEPA, visit the CEN Toxics Caucus webpage). The project is very broad with implications for a wide range of industries and stakeholders. ENGO participation is not overseen by the CEN, and identification and selection of those groups representing ENGO interests is at the discretion of Health Canada.
