Consultation in Progress

Canada-US Bilateral Air Quality Agreement (Ozone Annex)

Canada and the US have signaled their intent to review Progress to Date on the Ozone Annex at a June 2004 meeting. Environment Canada is seeking to consult with ENGO stakeholders in advance at a March 23 face-to-face meeting in Ottawa, for which travel and accommodation expenses will be covered. The CEN has been invited to oversee the selection of an ENGO delegation (up to 5 ENGO representatives) to this multi-stakeholder meeting. Participants to the last round of negotiations are particularly encouraged to apply. A later invitation to oversee selection of an ENGO representative to the Official Canadian Team will likely draw from these five ENGO representatives. More information on the Ozone Annex is available on EC's web site.

ENGO Selection:

The CEN has submitted the names of 5 ENGOs having indicated an interest in participating in those discussions. They are: Dr. Quentin Chiotti, Pollution Probe; Dan McDermot, Sierra Club of Eastern Canada; Sheila Cole, Nova Scotia Allergy and Environmental Health Association; Bruce Walker, STOP; Anna Tilman, STORM.
