Information Workshops for Stakeholders
Environment Canada and Health Canada will consider hosting information workshops in late September or early October 2007 should the number of requests received from interested stakeholders warrant this.
The information workshops would be designed to help further explain to stakeholders the Challenge, the associated documentation and how to participate. It should be emphasized that the objectives of the workshop would be for federal officials to provide details on what information is being sought for the Challenge, how participants are to submit this information, and the associated timelines. Discussion would focus on the documents associated with the Challenge which are provided on this website.
To express interest in attending an Information Workshop for Batch 3 substances please contact, by August 31, 2007, Obah_Omer@hc-sc.gc.ca
