Repealed Regulations

Regulations Amending the Export and Import of Hazardous Wastes Regulations (SOR/2002-300)

The goal of the Regulations Amending the Export and Import of Hazardous Wastes Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the amended regulations) is to ensure that the current manifest tracking and classification requirements for the international movements of hazardous wastes are maintained.

Under section 191 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Governor in Council has the authority to make regulations respecting conditions governing the import, export, and transit through Canada of hazardous wastes and hazardous recyclable materials. The amended Regulations are required as a consequence of the new Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDG regulations), made pursuant to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992. These new TDG regulations are scheduled to come into force on August 15, 2002.
