Public Consultation - ARCHIVED

This section provides you with the opportunity to make your views known on how you think CEPA 1999 should be renewed. Environment Canada and Health Canada have worked together to prepare a Scoping Paper which draws on the experience the two departments have had with the Act. This section has been designed to provide background information to assist Canadians in developing and sharing their views on issues in CEPA 1999 that have been identified for consideration in preparing for the Parliamentary Review and does not represent the official position of the Government of Canada.

The document uses various questions to assist in soliciting your views. You will note that there are two types of questions; some of the questions in the document are open-ended and related to general issues, while other questions are more focused, since they are related to specific technical issues. Along with the specific questions raised throughout the document, readers are asked to consider the following general questions:

• Do you agree with the issues identified by the departments?
• Do you have additional issues?
• How would you suggest CEPA 1999 and/or its implementation evolve to address these issues?

(To answer these general questions, click on them)

Feel free to respond to any or all of the questions including the three general questions above and those in the Scoping Paper itself. So that you can take the time you need to reflect on your responses you can download the questionnaire which is available in three popular formats. Once you have completed your responses, please forward them via e-mail by February 11, 2005 to:
