MIGRATORY BIRDS CONVENTION ACT, 1994
Notice of intent
Notice is hereby given that the Department of the Environment intends to recommend to the Governor in Council that amendments be made to the Migratory Birds Regulations, pursuant to section 12 of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994.
The purpose of these amendments to Schedule I of the Migratory Birds Regulations is to change hunting season dates, set daily bag limits and possession limits, as well as make other related modifications for certain species of migratory game birds for the 2014–15 and 2015–16 hunting seasons. The proposed regulatory amendments are in response to changes in the status of migratory game bird populations and will ensure the sustainable harvest of migratory game bird populations in Canada.
Commencing with the 2014–15 hunting season, Environment Canada will be moving from an annual to a biennial regulatory amendment cycle for the hunting regulations. The amendment and corresponding formalized consultation processes will remain consistent with what was done in previous years, with the only change being that the amendments will now occur every two years. However, Environment Canada will continue to evaluate the status of migratory game birds on an annual basis to ensure that urgent amendments can be made if necessary.
Canadian hunting regulations for migratory game birds are reviewed by Environment Canada, with input from the provinces and territories and a range of other interested stakeholders. Environment Canada produces three reports as part of its formalized consultation process. The first report, issued in January and titled Population Status of Migratory Game Birds in Canada, contains population and other biological information on migratory game birds, thus providing the scientific basis for management. The second report, also issued in January and titled Proposals to Amend the Canadian Migratory Birds Regulations, outlines the proposed changes to the hunting regulations, as well as proposals to amend the special conservation measures for overabundant species and other proposed amendments to the Migratory Birds Regulations. These two reports are distributed to organizations and individuals with an interest in migratory game bird conservation and provide the opportunity for input regarding the proposed regulatory amendments. The third report, Migratory Birds Regulations in Canada, issued in July, summarizes the hunting regulations for the upcoming two hunting seasons, and is also provided to organizations and individuals with an interest in migratory game bird conservation.
Electronic copies of the above-mentioned documents may be viewed at the following address: http://ec.gc.ca/rcom-mbhr/default.asp?lang=En&n=0EA37FB2-1.
Interested parties who wish to comment on the proposed amendments are invited to submit their comments within a 30-day period after the second report, Proposals to Amend the Canadian Migratory Birds Regulations, has been posted on the Environment Canada Web site. The closing date for consultations will also be on the Web site.
Comments can be submitted to the Director General, Canadian Wildlife Service, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0H3 or to MBRegs.Reports@ec.gc.ca.

ANNEX
Summary of the Draft Screening Assessment of BDTP
Pursuant to section 74 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of Phenol, 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(1,1-dimethylpropyl)-, hereinafter referred to as BDTP, Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN) 25973-55-1. This substance was identified as a priority for screening assessment because it met the criteria for persistence and inherent toxicity to non-human organisms during the categorization of the Domestic Substances List (DSL).
BDTP does not occur naturally in the environment. The substance is not manufactured in Canada, but the results from a survey conducted under the authority of section 71 of CEPA 1999 indicate that in the year 2000, between 100 000 and 1 000 000 kg of the substance were imported into Canada for use as an ultraviolet light absorber in automotive and industrial coatings, paints and plastics. Based on more recent information provided by stakeholders, the use of BDTP in Canada remains the same, but the quantity imported has decreased: an estimated total of 10 000 to 100 000 kg of BDTP was imported into Canada in 2010.
BDTP has a low solubility in water, a high octanol-water partition coefficient and a low vapour pressure. It is not expected to be significantly present in air, and is not subject to long-range atmospheric transport. If released to water, the substance is likely to largely partition to particles and organic matter because of its hydrophobic nature, consequently ending up in sediments. If released to soil, it remains in that medium.
Experimental data indicate that BDTP is not expected to degrade rapidly in water, soil, or sediment. Based on experimental data and model predictions, the substance has the potential to bioconcentrate and bioaccumulate in aquatic organisms and may biomagnify in trophic food webs. Therefore it is proposed to conclude that BDTP meets the criteria for persistence and bioaccumulation as set out in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations.
In Canada, BDTP is expected to be primarily released to surface water and ultimately end up in sediment; however, no monitoring data in any environmental medium in Canada has been identified. The substance has been found in the environment (water, soil, sediment, and biota) in other countries.
To evaluate potential exposure to BDTP in the Canadian aquatic environment, predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) were estimated for two representative industrial sites, aiming to characterize the industrial releases of this substance to surface waters from the manufacture of plastics and from the manufacture of paints and coatings. The aquatic PECs were in turn used to estimate tissue residues of BDTP in mid-trophic-level fish, which were further applied to calculate the total daily intakes (TDIs) for fish-consuming terrestrial organisms (minks and river otters) to be used as indicators of exposure.
The only empirical aquatic toxicity data available for BDTP are acute toxicity data, indicating no significant effect on different taxa at or above saturation in water. However, no reported value of any ecotoxicity endpoint is considered acceptable to calculate the predicted no-effect concentration (PNEC) for the aquatic compartment. No toxicity data were found for soil- or sediment-dwelling organisms; therefore, no PNECs were calculated for these two compartments.
Considering that aquatic PECs for both industrial sites fall below the water solubility of BDTP, the estimated releases of this substance to surface water are not expected to pose harm to aquatic organisms following short-term exposure. However, experimental data from acute toxicity studies may underestimate the long-term aquatic toxicity of this substance, given the poor bioavailability of the test substance in water. During short-term exposure, the uptake rate of BDTP from water alone may not be adequate to reach the internal effect concentration in test organisms.
To assess the long-term effect and the dietary factor associated with exposure to BDTP, a critical body burden (CBB) approach was used, in which the chronic external effect concentration was estimated for fish, based on the bioaccumulation factor (BAF) of this substance and the internal effect threshold for this class of chemicals. The estimated chronic external effect concentration was slightly below the aquatic PECs, suggesting that there could be a risk to aquatic organisms associated with long-term exposure (via combined water and food) at the concentration of this substance predicted to be in the Canadian environment.
The risk to terrestrial wildlife exposed through diet was also assessed by developing the chronic toxicity thresholds for mink and river otter based on data from a repeated-dose toxicity study in rats, and comparing these thresholds to the total daily intakes (TDIs) for these terrestrial organisms that were calculated from the residue concentrations of BDTP in mid-trophic-level fish that mink and river otter would consume. Since the TDIs were above the corresponding chronic toxicity thresholds of this substance, results indicate a risk to terrestrial wildlife associated with a long-term consumption of BDTP-contaminated fish in Canada.
Based on the overall results of the ecological assessment, it is proposed to conclude that BDTP meets the criteria under paragraph 64(a) of CEPA 1999 as it is entering or may enter the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity. Based on the information available, there is low risk of harm to the broader integrity of the environment from this substance. It is therefore proposed to conclude that BDTP does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(b) of CEPA 1999 as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.
The health effects database for BDTP is limited, but chronic toxicity studies for selected analogues indicated no evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals, and the available data do not indicate genotoxic potential. Based on the collective information on BDTP and selected analogues, the primary health effect associated with exposure to BDTP is liver toxicity. However, exposure of the general population of Canada to BDTP through environmental media is expected to be minimal, and exposure from use of consumer products is not expected. Based on the foregoing, the risk to human health is considered to be low. It is proposed to conclude that BDTP does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999 as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.
Proposed conclusion
Based on the information available, it is proposed to conclude that Phenol, 2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-bis(1,1- dimethylpropyl)- (CAS RN 25973-55-1) meets one or more of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA 1999.

ANNEX
Summary of the Draft Screening Assessment of Ethene
Pursuant to section 68 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of ethene (commonly referred to as “ethylene”), Chemical Abstracts Service Registry No. 74-85-1.
Ethene is a simple double-bonded hydrocarbon, and is a ubiquitous gas in the environment. It is introduced into the environment from both natural and anthropogenic sources, including emissions from vegetation of all types and micro-organisms, as a product of incomplete combustion of organic material (such as wood and agricultural wastes) and of fossil fuels, and during its industrial production and use. Ethene is also produced endogenously by humans and mammals.
Ethene has been internationally identified as a high production volume (HPV) chemical. Worldwide, ethene is the petrochemical product manufactured in the largest quantity, with global production capacity in 2011 estimated to be 138 million tonnes per year. In 2011, Canada ranked sixth in worldwide ethene production capacity at nearly 5.5 million tonnes per year, representing 4.0% of worldwide capacity. In 2000, ethene production in Canada was slightly lower, with production of 4.3 million tonnes per year, based on results from a survey conducted under section 71 of CEPA 1999. In this same survey, imported quantities of ethene were comparatively negligible.
In Canada and worldwide, ethene is predominantly used as a monomer for the manufacture of polyethylene plastics, as an intermediate for other organic chemicals, and as fuel gas in industrial facilities. Relatively small amounts are also used in commercial settings worldwide for the controlled growth or ripening of vegetation such as fruits, vegetables and flowers. In Canada, ethene is used commercially to inhibit the sprouting of potatoes during long-term storage, and for the ripening of bananas and possibly other produce.
In Canada, anthropogenic ethene concentrations in air are mostly attributed to the combustion of fossil fuels and to the use of ethene in various industrial processes. Canadian automotive releases to air were estimated at 3 449 tonnes in 2005. The majority of this (70 %) was estimated to be released from cars manufactured before 1992. Vehicles newer than 1992 models emit considerably less ethene due to advances in automotive engine technology and emissions controls and requirements for cleaner burning fuels in the United States and Canada.
Ethene is included in the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI), to which facilities manufacturing, importing, or otherwise using more than 10 tonnes of the substance per year must report their releases. In 2009, facilities across Canada reported to the NPRI on-site environmental releases totalling approximately 1 320 tonnes. Industrial releases have dropped by over 50% since 2000, due largely to the amount of ethene being recycled. The majority of reported ethene releases are to air.
In Canada, ethene has been measured in outdoor, indoor and personal air (i.e. air near a person's breathing zone collected using mobile air sampling equipment carried by participants), as well as in vegetation, soil and surface seawater. As a combustion byproduct, ethene has been measured in vehicular exhaust and in cigarette smoke. Ethene has not been reported in drinking water or consumer products in Canada.
Experimental and modelled data show that ethene is neither persistent nor bioaccumulative in the environment, based on criteria in the Persistence and Bioaccumulation Regulations.
Terrestrial plants are highly sensitive to ethene in air; critical toxicity values in air were determined for long-term and short-term exposure.
Air monitoring data were used to determine if ambient concentrations of ethene in urban and rural air or near industrial sites could be harmful to terrestrial plants. Based on a comparison of levels expected to cause harm to organisms with estimated exposure levels and on other information, ethene has a low risk of harm to terrestrial plants due to industrial emissions or ambient concentrations. The estimated frequency of occurrences of sufficient concentration from industrial emissions to be of concern is one occurrence per year.
Based on the information presented in this screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to organisms or the broader integrity of the environment from this substance. It is therefore proposed to conclude that ethene does not meet criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA 1999, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have immediate or long-term harmful effects on the environment or its biological diversity, or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.
Based principally on weight-of-evidence-based assessments of international agencies, ethene was “not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3),” and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has concluded that relevant studies on ethene have indicated low toxicity.
The animal database for ethene, as well as the available epidemiology studies, did not demonstrate a cancer concern and the overall genotoxicity test results were negative. The critical human health effects associated with exposure to ethene are nasal effects, based on observations in experimental animals. The critical effect level was compared to the highest concentration of ethene measured in air in Canada, which resulted in wide margins of exposure that were considered adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases. On the basis of the adequacy of the margins between upper-bounding estimates of exposure to ethene and critical effect levels, it is proposed to conclude that ethene does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA 1999, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.
Proposed conclusion
Based on the information available, it is proposed to conclude that ethene (CAS RN 74-85-1) does not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA 1999.

NOTICE OF VACANCY
CANADIAN POLAR COMMISSION
Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer (part-time)
The Arctic is emerging as a new focus for intense economic, political, and scientific engagement among both Arctic and non-Arctic nations. As early as 2015, the Arctic Ocean could be seasonally ice-free, opening a whole new frontier for natural resource development and transportation, but potentially accelerating global climate change. The opportunities — and challenges — for Canada and the world are enormous.
The Government has brought forward an integrated Northern Strategy focused on four pillars: strengthening Canada's sovereignty in the North, protecting our environmental heritage, promoting economic and social development, and improving and devolving governance. Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) leads the development and implementation of this Northern Strategy on behalf of the federal government.
Established in 1991 as a departmental corporation within AANDC's portfolio and mandated to promote the development and dissemination of knowledge in respect of the polar regions, the Canadian Polar Commission is well placed to provide advice to the Minister related to the Northern Strategy.
The Canadian Polar Commission is tasked, therefore, with providing research and advice to the Minister on key topics related to the Government's Northern Strategy.
The Chairperson, as Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for planning, administering, monitoring, and evaluating the main activities of the Canadian Polar Commission. The Chairperson directs and manages the Commission's activities and meetings; provides corporate leadership in the formulation, interpretation, and communication of broad corporate long-range principles, policies, and objectives; and ensures the effective and economic management of human, financial, and material resources.
The ideal candidate will have a degree from a recognized university or a combination of equivalent education, job-related training and/or experience. He/she will have executive level experience, including the management of financial and human resources, as well as experience in strategic planning and managing organizational change to promote improved organizational governance and performance. The ideal candidate would have experience in building and maintaining productive and effective relationships with diverse stakeholders, in addition to working with government officials and working on Northern issues. Experience working in the North as well as working with, or for, international organizations would be considered assets.
The preferred candidate would have knowledge of the mandate, operations, and public policy role of the Commission as well as the legislative framework in which it operates. He/she will have knowledge of the federal government's Northern Strategy and how the Commission can assist in meeting the objectives and priorities of that Strategy. In addition, knowledge of the key players, organizations, issues and events in the Arctic, both domestically and internationally, is desired. Knowledge of the operations of the federal government, including those related to sound governance and management principles, accountability and transparency is desired.
The ideal candidate would have the ability to provide excellent management, leadership and the vision necessary to ensure the realization of the strategic direction of the Commission. He/she would possess the ability to analyze complex situations in order to develop strategies, provide professional and sound advice, and make suitable decisions, while anticipating their short- and long-term impact. He/she will be able to interact and work effectively and constructively with individuals from diverse sectors and cultural backgrounds, as well as establish credibility and influence with international and Aboriginal organizations, territorial and federal governments, the international polar community, and key stakeholders, in order to advance the goals of the Commission and polar knowledge in Canada. The ideal candidate will possess superior communication skills both orally and in writing, and the ability to act as the Commission's spokesperson in dealing with stakeholders, media, governments, and other organizations on a national and international level.
Along with superior interpersonal skills, the ideal candidate would possess sound judgement, strong ethical standards and integrity, be diplomatic and flexible, and be a strategic and innovative leader.
Proficiency in both official languages would be preferred. Familiarity with Aboriginal languages of the North would be considered an asset.
Full-time employees in the federal public administration are not eligible to be appointed as members of the Board.
Persons appointed to the Board must have knowledge or experience that will assist the Commission in the furtherance of its purpose having regard to the ethnic, linguistic and regional diversity of Canada's polar regions.
In addition to being available for approximately 50 days per year for Board and Committee activities and related travel both nationally and internationally, the chosen candidate will also be required to travel to the Commission's annual meetings which will be held across Canada — half of these north of 60° north latitude.
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 selected candidate must comply with the Ethical and Political Activity Guidelines for Public Officer Holders. The Guidelines are available on the Governor in Council Appointments Web site, under “Reference Material,” at www.appointments-nominations.gc.ca/index.asp?lang=eng.
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/Default.aspx?pid=1&lang=en.
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.polarcom.gc.ca/eng.
Interested candidates should forward their curriculum vitae by February 10, 2014, 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@pco-bcp.gc.ca (email).
English and French notices of vacancy will be produced in an alternative format upon request. For further information, please contact Publishing and Depository Services Canada, Public Works and Government Services Canada, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0S5, 613-941-5995 or 1-800-635-7943.
