Print this Article | Send to Colleague
Environment Canada (EC) and Health Canada (HC) are seeking input on a planned level-of-complexity risk assessment framework for addressing the remaining priorities under the planned next phase of the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP).
Specifically, input is sought on the following aspects:
- potential challenges with the planned framework and suggestions for addressing these challenges;
- specific assessment approaches illustrating the different levels of complexity; and
- how to best operationalize this framework and its potential ongoing role post-2020; and
- suggestions on how to best operationalize the Framework in the near term and post-2020.
Canada reportedly remains on track to meet its commitments under the United Nations Environment Programme's Strategic Approach to International Chemicals Management (SAICM) to address legacy chemicals by 2020.
