Welcome

Dear friends and colleagues:

We would like to welcome you to the New Substances Program’s homepage. This web site is intended to provide you with information on the New Substances Program under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), a shared responsibility between Environment Canada and Health Canada.

We invite you to visit our Multistakeholder consultation page. This page presents the outcomes of the multistakeholder consultations on various aspects of the New Substances Program, the New Substances Notification Regulations of CEPA 1999 and our progress in implementing the recommendations.

Also, please visit our International Programs page. This page will give you an update on the activities we participate in internationally such as the Revised Canada/US Four Corners Arrangement, the Cooperative Arrangement Between the Australia and Canada, the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) chemicals program, and some United Nations initiatives.

We continuously update and improve this website in order to best serve you, so please visit often. 

Yours truly,

Disclaimer: Although care has been taken to ensure that the information found on this website accurately reflects the requirements prescribed, you are advised that, should any inconsistencies be found, the legal documents, printed in the Canada Gazette, will prevail.
