Third phase of the Chemicals Management Plan

The Government of Canada plans to assess and manage, where appropriate, the potential health and ecological risks associated with approximately 1,550 substances included in the third phase of the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP). A notice of intent for early stakeholder engagement was published in February 2016, and an announcement that applies to these substances was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I: Vol. 150, No. 25 – June 18, 2016.

Science approach documents

A science approach document (SciAD) provides a description of a scientific approach used to evaluate environmental or human health risk of substances, but does not propose a regulatory conclusion under section 64 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999).
