The pollution prevention planning provisions of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 provide authority for the Minister of the Environment to use a flexible instrument for the management of toxic substances listed under the Act. It is expected that this instrument will continue to contribute to the reduction of risks to the environment and human health associated with these toxic substances and promote the improvement of overall environmental performance and awareness in Canada.
