We have now finished our last consultation sessions with the Government of Canada’s Policy Lab. The first week of October, Nexreg participated in discussions about three possible models for prototyping and testing. This now concludes the fourth phase of Environment and Climate Change Canada and Health Canada’s plan to improve supply chain transparency and consumer product labelling.

The government now has the challenging work of analyzing the results in their final phase 5 of the project. We can expect a notice of intent to be published soon during fall 2022 for their chemicals management plan.

If anyone wants to learn more about what was discussed during these sessions, please let us know. Nexreg will monitor the progress made by Environment and Climate Change Canada and Health Canada and inform our clients of regulatory impacts that are announced on these topics in the future.
