This regulation brings into effect the June 2006 version of the Government of Canada’s “A Guide to Export Controls”. This regulation includes a number of additions, deletions, and clarifications to the controls relating to the exportation of various goods and technologies. A brief overview of the key changes to the goods and technologies affected by this amendment are provided below.
