DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE

EXPORT AND IMPORT PERMITS ACT

Cancellation of obsolete General Export Permits and a General Import Permit

Under Canada’s Export and Import Permits Act (EIPA), the Minister of Foreign Affairs has the authority to issue, amend, suspend, cancel or reinstate General Export Permits (GEPs) and General Import Permits (GIPs). GEPs and GIPs allow a resident of Canada to export or import certain controlled goods, as specified by the permit, without applying for an individual permit.

In order to ensure that the federal government’s export control regulations and policies are up-to-date and consistent, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, on July 3, 2009, has cancelled the following obsolete GEPs and GIP: GEP No. Ex. 14 — Export of Specimens Permit; GIP No. Ex. 17 — Import of Specimens (Personal or Household) Permit; GEP No. Ex. 7 — Export of One Cent Bronze Coins Permit; GEP No. Ex. 15 — Eggs; and GEP No. Ex. 16 — Egg Products.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the permits, but is intended only for information purposes.)

Cancellation of General Export Permit No. Ex. 14 — Export of Specimens Permit (GEP 14) and General Import Permit No. Ex. 17 — Import of Specimens (Personal or Household) Permit (GIP 17)

On July 4, 1975, the Export Control List (ECL) and Import Control List (ICL) were amended to add item 1011 (later renumbered as item 5000) and item 30, respectively. These amendments were made to control the export and import of “all specimens of species of endangered wild fauna and flora or by-products of such specimens” as listed in the ECL and ICL. General Export Permit No. Ex. 14 (GEP 14) — Export of Specimens Permit and General Import Permit No. Ex. 17 (GIP 17) — Import of Specimens (Personal or Household) Permit were issued on the same day. GEP 14 allowed any person to export from Canada the relevant specimens without an individual export permit, provided that certain conditions were met. GIP 17 allowed any person to import into Canada the relevant specimens without an individual export permit, provided that certain conditions were met.

Item 1011 and item 30 were included on the ECL and ICL to implement obligations assumed by Canada under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an international agreement for the protection of wild species against over-exploitation through international trade. CITES was originally implemented through regulations made pursuant to the Export and Import Permits Act (EIPA), which is administered by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada (FAITC).

The control of the items in question pursuant to the EIPA was repealed on December 19, 1996, as a result of the transfer of these controls to Environment Canada. The authority for this transfer was contained in the Wild Animal and Plant Protection and Regulation of International and Interprovincial Trade Act (WAPPRIITA). WAPPRITTA now covers all federal trade controls related to the conservation and protection of wild species of flora and fauna, and has since it came into force on May 15, 1996.

Despite the prompt removal of these items from the schedule to the ECL and ICL in 1996, the cancellation of GEP 14 and GIP 17 was inadvertently overlooked. Eliminating this outdated GEP and GIP will ensure consistency in Canada’s export and import control policies.

On July 3, 2009, GEP 14 and GIP 17 were officially cancelled.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the permit, but is intended only for information purposes.)

Cancellation of General Export Permit No. Ex. 7 — Export of One Cent Bronze Coins Permit (GEP 7)

On April 30, 1974, the item “Canadian one cent bronze coin” was added to the Export Control List (ECL) under item number 5667. General Export Permit No. Ex. 7 — Export of One Cent Bronze Coins Permit (GEP 7) was promulgated on the same day to allow the export of one cent bronze coins of Canada having an aggregate face value not exceeding $1.00 or one cent bronze coins of Canada in uncirculated coin sets issued by the Royal Canadian Mint, without an individual export permit, provided that specified conditions were met.

On April 13, 1989, in the scope of broad changes to the ECL, controls relating to the export of Canadian one cent bronze coins were removed. However, the cancellation of GEP 7 was inadvertently overlooked. Eliminating this outdated GEP will promote consistent export control policies in Canada.

On July 3, 2009, GEP 7 was officially cancelled.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the permits, but is intended only for information purposes.)

Cancellation of General Export Permit No. Ex. 15 — Eggs (GEP 15) and General Export Permit No. Ex. 16 — Egg Products (GEP 16)

On February 2, 1984, eggs and egg products were added to the Export Control List (ECL) under item number 1041 for the purpose of monitoring the exportation of these items.

On June 3, 1984, General Export Permit No. Ex. 15 — Eggs (GEP 15) and General Export Permit No. Ex. 16 — Egg Products (GEP 16) were promulgated so that individual export permits would not be required to export items listed under ECL item 1041, provided that the amount to be exported did not exceed the amounts specified in the GEPs.

On November 22, 1984, the ECL was amended and controls relating to the export of eggs and egg products were removed, therefore making GEP 15 and GEP 16 obsolete.

The cancellation of GEP 15 and GEP 16 was inadvertently overlooked when the controls relating to the export of eggs and egg products were removed from the ECL. Eliminating these outdated GEPs will promote consistent export control policies in Canada.

On July 3, 2009, GEP 15 and GEP 16 were officially cancelled.

CANADIAN POLAR COMMISSION

Chairperson and CEO (part-time) and Vice-Chairperson (part-time)

On July 26, 2009, the Government of Canada released its Northern Strategy focused on four pillars: exercising Canada’s Arctic sovereignty, promoting social and economic development, protecting Canada’s environmental heritage and improving and devolving governance. The Minister of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) leads the development and implementation of this Northern Strategy on behalf of the Government of Canada.

Established in 1991 as a departmental corporation within INAC’s portfolio and mandated to promote the development and dissemination of knowledge in respect of the Polar Regions, the Canadian Polar Commission (CPC) is well placed to provide advice to the Minister related to the Northern Strategy.

Familiarity with Aboriginal languages of the North would be an asset as would proficiency in both official languages.

Vice-Chairperson (part-time)

The successful candidate will possess experience developing and maintaining effective relationships with representatives of business, territorial and federal governments, Aboriginal and international organizations, and academia, as well as working with, and providing advice to, senior-level officials at various levels of government, stakeholders, and international organizations.
