Proposed Regulations

PCB Regulations

The purpose of the proposed PCB Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the proposed Regulations), to be adopted under subsection 93(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), is to improve the protection of Canada's environment and the health of Canadians from the risks posed by the use, storage and releases of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and accelerate their elimination. The proposed Regulations align with Canada's national and international commitments on the use (including exports and imports), storage and elimination of PCBs. The proposed Regulations will consolidate the current Chlorobiphenyls Regulations and the Storage of PCB Material Regulations, and will also revoke and replace the said Regulations
