Abstract

The present Regulations enforce the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 (S.C. 1999, c. 33).

However, the fees do not apply to a substance that is an animate or inanimate product of biotechnology, or to the notifier of a new substance that is manufactured or imported for a use that is regulated under any other Act of Parliament, including the Food and Drugs Act, the Fisheries Act and the Health of Animals Act.
