At the Eleventh Meeting of the Parties for the
Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, the Parties, including
Canada, decided to ban the production of bromochloromethane beginning January 1st,
2002. The Parties also decided to continue research to determine if n-propyl
bromide is hazardous to the ozone layer.
In order to do this, Environment Canada must gather the maximum
information from the companies that trade and use n-propyl bromide or
bromochloromethane.
Environment Canada published on August 12, 2000, a notice in the Canada
Gazette Part I, pursuant to paragraph 71(1)(b) of the Canadian Environmental
Protection Act, 1999, with respect to n-propyl bromide and bromochloromethane.
It requires companies to whom the notice refers to provide information mentioned in the
notice no later than September 28, 2000.
