Read the ENGO report on Environment Canada’s Proposed Regulatory Provisions for the Export and Import of Non-Hazardous Waste – July 21, 2006

The discussion document, contains an abridged description of the objectives, structure, and content of the proposed regulatory provisions, as well as the operational procedures to be followed once they are put into place. Many of the ideas this document puts forward reflect input from multi-stakeholder consultations that have taken place on the subject over the past four years.The purpose of the current consultations is to invite all stakeholders to provide their comments on the proposed regulatory provisions, raise awareness of their concerns, and contribute to the development of recommendations that are based on a common understanding of the environmental benefits to be achieved through these provisions.
