Ontario Government Releases Climate Change Action Plan

On June 8, the Ontario Government released its Climate Change Action Plan (2016-2020). While there will be numerous challenges presented by the province’s evolving energy landscape, the plan provides valuable opportunities for the propane industry to play an important role in Ontario’s proposed move to a low-carbon economy.

The CPA issued a press release in response to the Climate Change Action Plan, in which Andrea Labelle, CPA Executive Director said, "We believe that propane is an important element in Ontario’s low-carbon future. Propane is a cost-effective, low-emission source of energy that supports the livelihood of thousands of Ontarians and generates billions of dollars for the local economy. The Canadian Propane Association and its members look forward to continuing to work with the Ontario Government to provide access to clean, efficient and affordable energy for consumers."

Amendments to TDG Regulations – Reporting Requirements

On June 1, 2016, Regulations Amending the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (Reporting Requirements) were published in Part II of the Canada Gazette. The main objectives of these regulations are to:

Require the reporting of releases and anticipated releases of dangerous goods to the appropriate local authorities to assist them in responding to incidents that endanger or could endanger public safety.

Require new security provisions related to the reporting of dangerous goods that have been lost, stolen or unlawfully interfered with, and to require the reporting of undeclared or misdeclared dangerous goods transported by aircraft.

Modify and clarify the reporting requirements to enable the efficient collection of data. Report data will be used to conduct risk analyses and to help maintain public safety during the transportation of dangerous goods by all modes of transport.

Marine Liability and Information Return Regulations

Proposed Marine Liability and Information Return Regulations were published in the Canada Gazette Part I on June 11, 2016.

The objective of the proposed regulatory amendments is to set out the reporting requirements for bulk HNS received in Canada, as provided for in the Marine Liability Act. This includes setting out the thresholds for reporting, what information is to be reported, when reporting must be done and, where necessary, to which government authority reports are to be submitted. The objective of the proposed Regulations was also to reorganize and clarify certain parts of the existing Marine Liability Regulations to facilitate understanding and ensure consistency with the proposed reporting requirements under the Convention.
