What Canada Environmental Protection Act 1999 - CEPA Toxic Substances and GHG Reporting Framework requires
The Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 (CEPA 1999, S.C. 1999, c. 33) is Canada's primary federal environmental statute governing toxic substances, pollution prevention, greenhouse gas emissions reporting and environmental emergencies. Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) and Health Canada jointly administer the Act. The Domestic Substances List (DSL) and New Substances Notification program control chemical risk. Substances can be assessed as toxic under CEPA and added to the Toxic Substances List (Schedule 1) triggering risk management regulations. The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) under CEPA requires annual GHG reporting from facilities above 10,000 tonnes CO2e. CEPA was significantly amended in 2023 (Bill S-5) to include the right to a healthy environment.
