Current and Recent Proposals and Consultations
Any party (person, government or organization) in Canada may submit proposals to Environment Canada for changes to the National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) program. Environment Canada then consults on changes to the NPRI through various means, including the NPRI Multi-stakeholder Work Group. Regular teleconferences and meetings are held with this group to discuss NPRI work activities and issues and proposals for modifications.
