And whereas the substances in Annex III were identified as active pharmaceutical substances that have been discontinued, never been marketed or approved for limited use in Canada based on Health Canada records,

Therefore, notice is hereby given that the Minister of Health proposes to remove the substances in annexes II and III from the Revised In Commerce List.

ANNEX I

Summary of the Proposed Removal of Low Volume or Discontinued Substances from the Revised In Commerce List

Since September 14, 2001, new substances used in products regulated under the Food and Drugs Act (FDA) have been subject to the New Substances Notification Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers) [NSNR(CP)] and the New Substances Notification Regulations (Organisms) under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA). Prior to this date, substances used in products regulated under the FDA were added to two different lists:

As part of the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP), Health Canada has prioritized substances on the R-ICL to identify substances that require further evaluation to determine whether they present a risk to human health or the environment. All substances on the R-ICL are subject to CEPA, and Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada may take appropriate action at any time under that Act in respect to substances on the R-ICL that pose a risk to human health or the environment.

Prioritization was used to inform a subset of R-ICL substances for inclusion in a mandatory survey pursuant to section 71 of CEPA to obtain data on their recent commercial status in Canada. This survey was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, in January 2017 and contained 675 R-ICL substances that were listed in Part 4 of Schedule 1 of the survey. The scope of information gathering was limited to quantities and use patterns in FDA product applications. The 100 kg/year reporting threshold of the survey aligns with the 100 kg/year minimum reporting requirement for the NSNR(CP). Based on the results of the survey, 544 substances on the R-ICL were identified as having no manufacture or import in Canada, or quantities in FDA product applications were less than 100 kg/year. These substances are listed in Annex IIfootnote 2 of the present notice.

In addition to the 544 substances in Annex II, 125 additional substances on the R-ICL not included in the above-mentioned mandatory survey, were identified in Health Canada records as active pharmaceutical substances that have been discontinued, have never been marketed, or have been approved for limited use, such as substances used for research or provided through Health Canada’s Special Access Programme. These 125 additional substances are listed in Annex III of the present notice.

Recent commercial status was used as an indicator to identify R-ICL substances that would be less likely to cause harm to human health or the environment as a result of their limited anticipated exposure potential. The 544 and 125 R-ICL substances listed in annexes II and III, respectively, are consequently proposed to be removed from the R-ICL. This proposed removal does not preclude a more fulsome consideration of the exposure and risk of these substances under other CEPA initiatives. If removed, these substances would continue to be subject to the NSNR.

ANNEX II

Substances proposed for removal from the R-ICL based on results of a mandatory survey pursuant to section 71 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, which indicate that these substances were not manufactured or imported above the reporting threshold of 100 kg/year in either the 2014 or 2015 calendar year in FDA regulated products

ANNEX III

Active pharmaceutical substances proposed for removal from the R-ICL based on them having never been marketed, being discontinued or having a limited use pattern in Canada according to information in Health Canada records

Appointment opportunities

We know that our country is stronger — and our government more effective — when decision-makers reflect Canada’s diversity.

Together, we will build a government as diverse as Canada.

We are equally committed to providing a healthy workplace that supports one’s dignity, self-esteem and the ability to work to one’s full potential. With this in mind, all appointees will be expected to take steps to promote and maintain a healthy, respectful and harassment-free work environment.
