BANK OF CANADA

Call for candidates — Governor

The Bank of Canada, the nation's central bank, is the pre-eminent macro-economic institution in Canada and is an active and influential participant in helping shape global economic and financial policy as a result of Canada's membership in the G8, the G20, the Financial Stability Board, the Bank for International Settlements and other multilateral institutions. Responsible for the conduct of monetary policy to keep inflation low, stable and predictable, promoting the efficiency of capital markets and the integrity of Canadian currency, while contributing to the development of stronger, more robust domestic and international financial systems, the Bank of Canada plays a significant strategic role that has an impact on the everyday lives of all Canadians.

Few positions influence more directly the performance of the Canadian economy than that of the Governor of the Bank of Canada. In this role, the Governor would shape the culture and values of the organization, and build on the Bank's commitment to integrity, intellectual discipline and openness of communication. He/she would also ensure that the Bank attracts, and retains, the calibre of individuals needed to sustain its reputation for excellence.

As an exceptionally well-qualified candidate, he/she has unquestioned technical competence in monetary policy and, more broadly, macro-economics, coupled with a highly developed understanding of the financial sector, both institutions and markets, domestically and internationally. He/she has the proven ability to provide leadership for a complex, knowledge-intensive organization, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to communicate in both official languages the Bank's decisions on monetary policy and on a range of economic issues. A Canadian citizen, the candidate has the demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgment in a highly complex environment, to manage competing priorities, and to rank strategic priorities. His/her leadership style is characterized by a personal inclination to lead through persuasion, and he/she has the courage to take a stand to support principles and policies. The credibility of the Governor is key to establishing the confidence of the financial community, the business media and ultimately the general public.

To explore this opportunity further, please contact Paul Stanley at 416-366-1990 or Ron Robertson at 613-742-3200.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This explanatory note is not part of the Significant New Activity Notice.)

A Significant New Activity Notice is a legal instrument issued by the Minister of the Environment pursuant to section 85 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. The Significant New Activity Notice sets out the appropriate information that must be provided to the Minister for assessment prior to the commencement of a new activity as described in the Notice.

Substances that are not listed on the Domestic Substances List can be manufactured or imported only by the person who has met the requirements set out in section 81 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Under section 86 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, in circumstances where a Significant New Activity Notice is issued for a new substance, it is the responsibility of every person who transfers the physical possession or control of the substance to notify all persons to whom the possession or control is transferred of the obligation to comply with the Significant New Activity Notice and of the obligation to notify the Minister of the Environment of any new activity and all other information as described in the Notice. It is the responsibility of the users of the substance to be aware of and comply with the Significant New Activity Notice and to submit a Significant New Activity notification to the Minister prior to the commencement of a significant new activity associated with the substance. However, as mentioned in subsection 81(6) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, a Significant New Activity notification is not required when the proposed new activity is regulated under an act or regulations listed on Schedule 2 to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999.

A Significant New Activity Notice does not constitute an endorsement from Environment Canada or the Government of Canada of the substance to which it relates, or an exemption from any other laws or regulations that are in force in Canada and that may apply to this substance or activities involving the substance.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH

FOOD AND DRUGS ACT

Notice to interested parties — Marketing Authorization for maximum residue limits for veterinary drugs

Recent updates to the Food and Drugs Act that were introduced in sections 30.2 to 30.4 as part of the Jobs, Growth and Long-term Prosperity Act of 2012 (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/PDF/J-0.8.pdf) give the Minister of Health the authority to issue Marketing Authorizations and incorporate documents by reference. The Department of Health is publishing a Marketing Authorization (MA) for veterinary drug maximum residue limits (MRL) in order to realize the efficiencies from this legislation and improve current processes.

A maximum residue limit (MRL) is an amount of drug residue that — if present in the tissue of a food animal or a food product derived from a food-producing animal that has been treated with a veterinary drug — will not pose an unacceptable risk to the safety of the food. This residue, at this level, is considered to pose no adverse health effects if ingested daily by humans over a lifetime. Currently, when Health Canada reviews and authorizes a veterinary drug for sale in Canada, an MRL for the drug residue is determined at the same time; however, the MRL then has to be added to the regulations, which can take many years after the scientific decision and consultation have already taken place.

As a result of this new legislation, an MA has been prepared to modernize this process in Canada in a way that maintains the scientific rigor and consultation process, but removes the step of making a regulatory amendment for each new or updated MRL. Health Canada's new MA process for veterinary drug MRLs will continue to protect the health and safety of Canadians while also reducing unnecessary red tape. The new process will be several steps shorter and less labour intensive because the regulations do not need to be changed every time an MRL is established or updated. Instead, the “List of Maximum Residue Limits for Veterinary Drugs” will be incorporated by reference (i.e. have the force of law) and will be maintained on Health Canada's Web site; any proposed changes will continue to be the subject of consultation, and the list will then be updated administratively. Associated Governor in Council regulations are being developed for pre-publication at a later date in order to repeal the existing “Table III” in Part B, Division 15, of the Food and Drug Regulations, as the list of MRLs will now be published and maintained online.
