Consultation in Progress
Environmental Assessment Working Group (EAWG) on Substances in Products Regulated under the Foods and Drugs Act (Health Canada)
The Environmental Assessment Working Group (EAWG) is a multi-stakeholder working group that will provide advice to Health Canada and Environment Canada regarding the development of appropriate regulations for the assessment of new substances contained in products regulated under the Food & Drugs Act. The group will also consider the revision, prioritization and management of the In Commerce List (ICL).

The selected ENGO delegates will attend two face-to-face meetings per year and will hold two conference calls per year with the broader environmental community.
