OF SCHEDULE 3 TO THE CANADIAN
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999

COMING INTO FORCE

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order.)

Under section 100 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA, 1999), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have the authority to add any substance to the Export Control List in Schedule 3 of that Act or delete any substance from that List.

The Export Control List of CEPA (1999) consists of 3 parts as follows: Part 1, Prohibited Substances; Part 2, Substances Subject to Notification or Consent; and Part 3, Restricted Substances.

On March 15, 2000, an Order adding a toxic substance, namely Tributyltetradecylphosphonium chloride (TTPC), to the List of Toxic Substances (Schedule I) to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act of 1988 and to the List of Toxic Substances Requiring Export Notification (Part II of Schedule II) to that Act was published in the Canada Gazette, Part II.

The addition of TTPC to the List of Restricted Substances (Part 3 of Schedule 3) of CEPA (1999) will ensure that the same export conditions that applied to this substance under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act of 1988 are continued under CEPA (1999).
