Proposed Regulations Amending the Hazardous Products (Glazed Ceramics and Glassware) Regulations
Proposed amendments to the Hazardous Products (Glazed Ceramics and Glassware) Regulations pursuant to the Hazardous Product Act are being prepared for publication in the Canada Gazette, Part I.
Please note that all future notices regarding the proposed amendments will be posted to this page of the Health Canada website, so you may wish to refer back to it every so often.
In addition, we are migrating to an electronic format for stakeholder information distribution to increase our efficiency and response time.

Update on proposed amendments to the Cribs and Cradles Regulations
The proposed amendments to the Cribs and Cradles Regulations and to Schedule I of the Hazardous Products Act have undergone a 75 day comment period, which ended on July 15, 2004. They were published in the  Canada Gazette Part I on May 1, 2004.
Health Canada would like to thank all those who took the time to provide comments regarding this regulatory initiative. The opinions and concerns of Canadians and other interested parties are of the utmost importance to Health Canada. Following an analysis of the received comments, Health Canada will make the appropriate modifications (if necessary), before publishing the regulatory amendment in Part II of the Canada Gazette, such that it will become law in Canada.
Update on proposed Lighters Regulations
Health Canada would like to thank everyone who provided comments on the proposed Lighters Regulations published in Canada Gazette Part I on March 13, 2004. The consultation period ended on May 27, 2004. It is important that all Canadians play a role in the development of laws that protect their health and safety.
While undertaking regulatory amendments, Health Canada considers the views of stakeholders to be of paramount importance. The Department is reviewing all comments received during the consultation period and will make any appropriate modifications to the proposed regulatory amendment. Upon completion of this review, it is Health Canada’s intention to ultimately publish the Lighters regulatory amendment in Part II of the Canada Gazette, such that it will become law in Canada.
