Résumé

The present Regulations enforce the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 (S.C. 1999, c. 33). The purpose of the Regulations is to improve the protection of Canada’s environment and the health of Canadians by minimizing the risks posed by the use, storage and release of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and by accelerating the elimination of these substances. The text consists of 48 sections divided into 5 Parts. Part 1 sets out general requirements that are applicable to all parts of the Regulations. Part 2 establishes prohibitions on the release, manufacture, export, import, offer for sale, sale, processing and use of PCBs and products containing PCBs, and lists exceptions to these prohibitions; and sets deadlines to end the use of PCBs and products containing PCBs and send them for destruction. Part 3 specifies storage requirements for PCBs and products containing PCB s that are not processed daily or used; and sets deadlines to end the storage of PCBs and products containing PCBs and send them for destruction. Part 4 concerns labelling, record-keeping and reporting requirements for PCBs and products containing PCBs in order to track the progress of ending the use and storage of PCBs and products containing PCBs, and to track their destruction; and finally Part 5 deals with repeals and coming into force.
