Description

The aim of this addendum is to inform WTO Members of a delay in the publication of the final Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2022 (the final Regulations). The final Regulations, initially expected to be published in 2023, are now expected to be published in summer 2024, at the earliest.On May 14, 2022, the Government of Canada published the proposed Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2022 (the proposed Regulations) in the Canada Gazette, Part I, for a 75-day public comment period that ended on July 28, 2022. The proposed Regulations would repeal and replace the Prohibition of Certain Toxic Substances Regulations, 2012 (the current Regulations) on the day the final Regulations come into force. The proposed Regulations would further restrict three subgroups of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and two flame retardants, and products containing them, that are already subject to the Regulations, and would add two additional flame retardants, and products containing them.Many complex and technical comments were received during the public comment period, which are being carefully considered.
