EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the notice.)
On October 8, 2011, the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health announced, as part of the second phase of the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP 2), in the Canada Gazette, Part Ⅰ, Vol. 145, No. 41, that approximately 500 substances divided into nine groups have been selected as priorities for action and are planned to be assessed and managed, where appropriate, over the next five years. These substances have been selected for further action based on the categorization exercise completed in 2006, and new information received as part of the first phase of the Chemicals Management Plan.
As part of the CMP 2, certain cobalt-containing substances will be assessed and are part of this notice. The cobalt substance grouping was based on a common moiety of ecological concern, and the substances have been identified both domestically and internationally to be a priority for assessment. A survey conducted for the Domestic Substances ListInventory Update identified that cobalt-containing substances may have a range of consumer applications including paints and coatings, plastic and rubber materials, food packaging, ink toners and colourants that could result in exposure to humans, including children.
The Notice with respect to certain cobalt-containing substances applies to a subset of these substances within this grouping, for which information is required. The information collected from this notice will inform the risk assessment and, if necessary, risk management for this grouping of substances.

NOTICE OF VACANCY
PPP CANADA INC.
Chairperson (part-time position)
PPP Canada Inc. is a Crown corporation which reports to the Parliament of Canada through the Minister of Finance and is governed by a board of directors that is accountable for the overall stewardship of the Corporation. Its mandate is to improve the delivery of public infrastructure by achieving better value, timeliness and accountability to taxpayers, through public-private partnerships (P3s).
P3s are an alternative method for delivering large and complex public infrastructure projects. They offer three major benefits: better cost and delay controls, optimization of risk and resources, and innovation. P3s are typically long-term arrangements using financial and contractual incentives to leverage performance and innovation from the private sector and share risks associated with the design, construction, maintenance and operation of infrastructure assets.
PPP Canada Inc.’s operations focus on building P3 procurement knowledge and capacity amongst federal departments, and leveraging greater value for money from federal investments in provincial, territorial, municipal and First Nations infrastructure with the P3 Canada Fund.
The Chairperson leads the Board of Directors and oversees its activities and is primarily responsible for the effective operation of the Board in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities.
The successful candidate will have a degree from a recognized university in a relevant field of study or an acceptable combination of education, job-related training and/or business experience. The position requires the incumbent to possess experience in areas such as project finance, engineering and infrastructure project development, in particular as a senior executive in the public or private sector. Experience serving as a member of a board of directors, preferably as chairperson, is essential. Experience implementing modern corporate governance principles and best practices would be considered an asset.
The ideal candidate should be knowledgeable about PPP Canada Inc.’s mandate and activities. Knowledge of the current best practices in corporate governance as well as corporate and project finance is necessary. He or she will have knowledge of the Canadian financial services and/or infrastructure industries. Knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the Chairperson and the Board of Directors is required. The selected candidate will have knowledge of the management and approval of capital projects at the federal and/or provincial level, and should also possess strong financial literacy.
The position requires an individual who has the capacity to build constructive relationships, facilitate information sharing and promote meaningful dialogue between Board members, senior management and shareholders. The ability to anticipate emerging issues and develop strategies to enable the Board to seize opportunities or solve problems is essential. The chosen candidate will have the ability to foster debate and discussion among Board members, to facilitate consensus, and to manage conflicts, should they arise. Superior communications skills, both written and oral, and the ability to act as a spokesperson and public champion of public-private partnership, are also important requirements. The qualified candidate will also have the ability to work with both the public and private sectors.
To achieve the Corporation’s objectives and carry out its mandate, the Chairperson should possess strong leadership and interpersonal skills, credibility among the variety of the Corporation’s stakeholders and demonstrated decision-making abilities. He or she will also adhere to high ethical standards, and have sound judgement, integrity and discretion.
The Board of Directors and its Committees meet at least four times per year, normally in the National Capital Region, and the Chairperson sits as an ex-officio member with voting rights on all committees of the Board. The successful candidate should expect to commit to the position an average of 50 days annually and be willing to travel to Ottawa for Board meetings. The Board also meets by teleconference as required.
Proficiency in both official languages would be preferred.
The Government is committed to ensuring that its appointments are representative of Canada’s regions and official languages, as well as of women, Aboriginal peoples, disabled persons and visible minorities.
The preferred candidate must comply with the Ethical and Political Activity Guidelines for Public Office Holders. The guidelines are available on the Governor in Council Appointments Web site, under “Reference Material,” at www.appointments-nominations.gc.ca.
The selected candidate will be subject to the Conflict of Interest Act. For more information, please visit the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner’s Web site at http://ciec-ccie.gc.ca.
This notice has been placed in the Canada Gazette to assist the Governor in Council in identifying qualified candidates for this position. It is not, however, intended to be the sole means of recruitment.
Further details about the organization and its activities can be found on its Web site at www.P3canada.ca.
Interested candidates should forward their curriculum vitae by June 18, 2012, to the Assistant Secretary to the Cabinet (Senior Personnel), Privy Council Office, 59 Sparks Street, 1st Floor, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A3, 613-957-5006 (fax), GICA-NGEC@bnet.pco-bcp.gc.ca (email).
