Current Regulations
Federal Halocarbon Regulations, 2003 (SOR/2003-289)
The Montreal Protocol
Recognizing that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and Halons deplete the ozone layer and have adverse effects on the environment, Canada, along with 23 other nations, signed the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer on September 16, 1987.
Parties to the Protocol, now totaling over 180, have implemented control measures to achieve emissions reductions of Ozone Depleting Substances (ODSs). These reductions are intended to prevent damage resulting from the gradual destruction of the ozone layer and thus contribute to protecting the ecosystem and human health. Since 1987, Canada has adopted regulations to meet its Montreal Protocol commitments.
