K. G. HAMILTON [20-1-o] CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999 Notice to anyone engaged in the use of methyl bromide The Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer have agreed to phase out the production and consumption of methyl bromide. The Ninth meeting of the Parties decided to allow for possible exemptions to these production/consumption phase-out dates in order to meet the marketplace demand for uses that are considered "critical." The Parties have established criteria and a procedure to assess nominations for "critical" use exemptions. Canada, as a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, must ensure that the requirements of this international treaty are implemented in Canada. Pursuant to subparagraphs 68(a)(ix) and 68(a)(xiii) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, the annex of the following notice describes the criteria, process and schedule that the Department of the Environment will use to determine the relevance of nominations received for an exemption for a "critical" use of methyl bromide, as agreed to under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. If the nomination is accepted by the Parties to the Montreal Protocol, the Party in possession of the exemption authorises the applicant to acquire the methyl bromide according to the terms of the decision. The decision will be implemented in respect to the regulatory provisions for methyl bromide and allow the production or importation of new methyl bromide after the phase-out date. The use of methyl bromide present in Canada before the phase-out date or the use of recycled or reclaimed methyl bromide does not require an application for exemption. Users of methyl bromide are hereby invited to submit, prior to July 29, 2005, their nominations for such "critical" use exemptions for exemptions for the years 2007 and 2008, as described in the annex to this notice. LEIF STEPHANSON On behalf of the Minister of the Environment Annex I. Introduction The Fourth Meeting of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer agreed to add methyl bromide to the list of ozone-depleting substances subject to control. The Seventh Meeting of the Parties agreed to phase out the production and consumption (see footnote 1) of methyl bromide by January 1, 2010. The Ninth Meeting of the Parties revised the phase-out date to January 1, 2005, and established interim reduction steps. The Ninth Meeting of the Parties agreed to allow for possible exemptions to this production/consumption phase-out date in order to meet the marketplace demand for uses that are considered "critical." The Parties established (Decision IX/6) criteria to assess nominations for "critical" use exemptions. The Parties also agreed (Decision IX/7) to allow the use, in response to an emergency event, of quantities not exceeding 20 tonnes of methyl bromide. Canada, as a signatory to the Montreal Protocol, must ensure that the requirements of this international treaty are implemented in Canada. Canada has developed a domestic control program to do so. In 1995, Canada's Ozone Layer Protection Program was revised and it was decided to phase out methyl bromide by January 1, 2001. In 1998, because of the change in position of Canada's major trading partners regarding their domestic phase-out date, Canada changed its position and decided to adopt the international phase-out schedule. II. Criteria for "critical" use For the implementation in Canada of the Montreal Protocol requirements, a use of methyl bromide shall qualify as "critical" if and only if the following conditions are met: (1) the specific use is "critical" because the lack of availability of methyl bromide for that use would result in a significant market disruption; (see footnote 2) and (2) there are no technically and economically feasible alternatives or substitutes available (see footnote 3) to the user that are acceptable from the standpoint of environment and health and are suitable to the crops and circumstances of the nomination. Furthermore, consumption, if any, of methyl bromide for "critical" uses after the phase-out date shall be permitted only if the following conditions are met: (1) all technically and economically feasible steps have been taken to minimize the "critical" use and any associated emission of methyl bromide; (2) the methyl bromide is not available in sufficient quantity and quality from existing stocks of banked or recycled methyl bromide; and (3) it is demonstrated that an appropriate effort is being made to evaluate, commercialize and secure national regulatory approval of alternatives and substitutes. It must be demonstrated (see footnote 4) that research programmes are in place to develop and deploy alternatives and substitutes. III. Process The process that leads to decisions on "critical" use exemptions consists of a domestic process and an international process. The domestic process is as follows: (01) An organisation (user) in Canada makes an application for a "critical" use exemption to Environment Canada. This application must fulfil the information requirements identified in section V of this document. Contact information Written submissions must be received at the following address by July 29, 2005: Section Head, Ozone Protection Programs Section, Chemicals Control Branch, Environment Canada, Place Vincent Massey, 12th Floor, Gatineau, Quebec K1A 0H3. (02) Environment Canada sends the application to the Methyl Bromide Critical Use Advisory Committee. The advisory committee consists of independent experts who are knowledgeable on the alternatives available and pest problems faced by the sector for which the exemption is requested. Advisory committee The advisory committee will, at a minimum, consist of representatives from Environment Canada — Chair The purpose of the advisory committee is to advise and evaluate applications and forward to Environment Canada its recommendations concerning the applications. (03) The Advisory committee submits its recommendation to Environment Canada, including conditions on how the substance should be used. (04) Environment Canada makes a decision, in consultation with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada when an agricultural sector is implicated, and informs the applicant. (05) The applicant can appeal to the Minister of the Environment, to the attention of the Director, Chemicals Control Branch, if they are not satisfied with the decision. The international process is as follows: (06) Nomination: Canada submits its "critical" use nomination to the Ozone Secretariat of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) by January 24 of the year in which a decision is required; earlier submissions are encouraged. (see footnote 5) The nomination would be valid for a period commencing on January 1 of the year following the decision or as specified in the decision. (07) Assignment: The Ozone Secretariat forwards the nominations to the Technology and Economic Assessment Panel (TEAP). (08) Review: The TEAP reviews the nomination to determine if it meets the criteria for a "critical" use established by Decision IX/6 and either recommends the nomination to the Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) of the Parties to the Montreal Protocol or reports that it is unable to recommend the nomination. The TEAP report to the OEWG is due by mid-May of the year of decision. (09) Evaluation: The Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) reviews the TEAP report and recommends a decision for consideration by the Parties. (10) Decision: The Meeting of the Parties decides whether to allow production for "critical" use in accordance with the Montreal Protocol. The Parties may attach conditions to their approval. (11) National decision: The Party in possession of a "critical" use exemption authorises the applicant to acquire the methyl bromide according to the terms of the decision. (12) Execution of authorization: The applicant exercises its authorization to use methyl bromide, according to the terms of the decision. Note: The Montreal Protocol authorizes but does not require production; each applicant must locate a willing supplier and negotiate supply. IV. Timetable The domestic timetable for the submission of nominations for "critical" use exemption is as follows:
The international timetable for the submission of nominations for "critical" use exemption is as follows:

VI. Canadian assessment of nominations Only the Government of Canada, as a Party to the Protocol, may nominate "critical" use exemptions for Canada. Organizations and/or individuals interested in obtaining an exemption for methyl bromide after 2004 are hereby invited to submit nominations to Environment Canada. Environment Canada will evaluate all nominations received in order to decide whether to support them for international review using the following process and schedule. (1) Applicants for "critical" use exemptions must demonstrate that all elements of the "critical" use criteria described above have been met. Applications must contain all the information elements. (2) Nominations will be rigorously evaluated in consultation with independent recognized experts, other government departments and non-government organisations that will have complete access to all submitted information. (3) The final decision to accept any nomination or to forward any nomination for international consideration rests with the Government of Canada.

May 5, 2005 LARRY SHAW [20-1-o] TELECOMMUNICATIONS POLICY REVIEW PANEL Invitation for interested parties to the consultation process to register The Telecommunications Policy Review Panel was established by the Minister of Industry on April 11, 2005, to conduct a review of Canada's telecommunications policy and regulatory framework. The Minister has appointed Dr. Gerri Sinclair, Hank Intven and André Tremblay as the members of the Panel. The Panel's terms of reference, objective, structure and areas of interest are set out in the Schedule to this notice attached to this document. The Panel has been asked to deliver a report by the end of 2005. Due to the short time frame for the completion of its report, the Panel will rely on submissions from interested parties as its primary means of gathering information. The Panel hopes to obtain a wide range of submissions to better understand the issues relevant to the development of Canadian and global telecommunications and information and communication technology sectors, as well as the experience, requirements, research and views of stakeholders in these sectors. The Panel also expects to conduct research, organize workshops and otherwise develop a better appreciation of how Canadian telecommunications policy and regulation can contribute to Canadian competitiveness and the well-being of all Canadians. The Panel plans to publish a consultation document on June 4, 2005, in order to focus the discussion of the issues it must consider and to request specific submissions on those issues. This document will set out a schedule for the filing of submissions, for the filing of comments on other parties' submissions, as well as any further steps in the Panel's public consultation process. The Panel has established a Web site at www.telecomreview.ca to assist in obtaining submissions and to provide further information on the Panel's work. The Web site is intended to provide a forum for furthering the dialogue on the development of a new telecommunications policy and regulatory framework for Canada. The purpose of this notice is to request parties who wish to make submissions to the Panel or to obtain further information on the Panel's work to register on the Web site or with the Panel's Executive Director at the following address: Allan MacGillivray, Executive Director, Telecommunications Policy Review Panel Secretariat, 280 Albert Street, Room 1031, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0C8, (613) 957-9744 (telephone), (613) 946-1841 (facsimile), macgillivray.allan@ic.gc.ca (electronic mail). Copies of this notice and the schedule referred to are available electronically on the Panel's Web site at www.telecomreview.ca. May 5, 2005 ALLAN MACGILLIVRAY SCHEDULE Terms of reference "The Government recognizes the critical importance of the telecommunications sector to Canada's future well-being and the need for a modern policy framework. To ensure that the telecommunications industry continues to support Canada's long-term competitiveness, the Government is appointing a panel of eminent Canadians to review Canada's telecommunications framework. The panel is asked to make recommendations on how to move Canada toward a modern telecommunications framework in a manner that benefits Canadian industry and consumers." (Budget 2005) Objective The Government's objective is to ensure that Canada has a strong, internationally competitive telecommunications industry, which delivers world-class affordable services and products for the economic and social benefit of all Canadians in all regions of Canada. The panel is asked to make recommendations that will help achieve this objective. Structure A panel of three Canadians has been named by the Minister of Industry. It is expected that the panel will
Timing The panel is asked to make recommendations to the Minister of Industry before the end of 2005. Areas of interest Creating the right framework for telecommunications involves maintaining an up-to-date regulatory regime, fostering an environment that improves access for all sectors of the economy, and encouraging the adoption of advanced applications and services. The panel is asked to study and report on three areas that must continue to evolve in order to keep pace with rapid changes in technology, consumer demand and market structure: regulation, access, and information and communications technologies (ICT) adoption. Regulation The existing regulatory regime was designed to facilitate the introduction of competition into an industry previously structured around monopolies. The development and deployment of advanced technology, such as Internet protocol-based services, high-speed Internet access and wireless broadband communications, combined with maturing consumer demand, have had a profound effect on the telecommunication industry and have started to change the shape and structure of the industry. Governments face the challenge of regulating the industry as it exists today and protecting the interests of its users, while at the same time not standing in the way of progress or restricting the benefits and adoption of advanced telecommunications networks and services. The panel is asked to make recommendations on how to implement an efficient, fair, functional and forward-looking regulatory framework that serves Canadian consumers and businesses, and that can adapt to a changing technological landscape. Access A key objective of Canada's telecommunication policy is the provision of reliable and affordable telecommunications for Canadians in all parts of the country, and in all sectors of the economy. Great success has been achieved in providing basic telephone service thanks in large part to internally generated cross-subsidies. However, the increasingly competitive nature of the industry substantially limits the ability to cross-subsidize. At the same time, consumer expectations have grown. Access beyond traditional voice services to advanced telecommunications connectivity and high-speed networks is now expected. Challenges remain, not only in closing the existing service and accessibility gaps, but also in ensuring that Canada keeps pace with ever-changing technology and consumer demand. The panel is asked to recommend mechanisms that will ensure that all Canadians continue to have an appropriate level of access to modern telecommunications services. ICT adoption A primary principle of Canadian telecommunications policy is that the telecommunications system should safeguard, enrich, and strengthen the social and economic fabric of Canada. Not only is telecommunications an important sector in its own right, it is also a powerful enabler within the economy and society as a whole; a new platform for the delivery of traditional services, such as health care and education, as well as for innovative new services. Research and development efforts continue to produce innovative ICT. Given the impact ICT has on productivity, Canada must ensure that its levels of technology adoption remain competitive with the world's other leading economies. The panel is asked to make recommendations on measures to promote the development, adoption and expanded use of advanced telecommunications services across the economy. In this context, the panel is also asked to report on the appropriateness of Canada's current levels of ICT investment. In addition to these specific areas of interest, the panel is encouraged to study and report on any other issues that, in its opinion, are essential to creating a modern telecommunications framework.

[20-1-o] Under the Montreal Protocol, "consumption" refers to the trade (production + import - export) of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs), and not to the use of ODSs. For "critical" uses, significant market disruption would mean the loss of an in-dustry sector or production sector (e.g. one crop), not just the loss of one com-pany or facility, unless a single company represents a large portion of the market. The onus is on industry to demonstrate that there are no alternatives or substitutes available. The onus is on industry to demonstrate that research programmes are in place. It is possible to present exemption nominations two years in advance of the year the exemption is required in order to get a decision one year in advance of the phase-out date. The length of time required to obtain a decision can vary.
