10/12/2006  New Hazardous Waste Regulations Approved
  

The proposed Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste and Hazardous Recyclable Material Regulations were published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on September 2, 2006. The proposed regulations would repeal and replace the existing Interprovincial Movement of Hazardous Waste Regulations. To ensure consistency with the Export and Import of Hazardous Wastes and Hazardous Recyclable Material Regulations, which came into force on November 1, 2005, the proposed regulations would introduce new definitions of hazardous waste and hazardous recyclable material and will replace references to "manifests" with references to "movement documents".

The proposed regulations are available at:
