CHAPTER 33 CHAPITRE 33

CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTION ACT, 1999

LOI CANADIENNE SUR LA PROTECTION

DE LENVIRONNEMENT (1999)

SUMMARY SOMMAIRE

This enactment repeals and replaces the Canadian EnvironmentalProtection Act. Among the changes are provisions to implementpollution prevention, new procedures for the investigation and assess-ment of substances and new requirements with respect to substancesthat the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health havedetermined to be toxic or capable of becoming toxic within the meaningof Part 5, and provisions regarding animate products of biotechnology.The enactment also contains new provisions respecting fuels, interna-tional air and water pollution, motor emissions, nutrients whose release

into water can cause excessive growth of aquatic vegetation andenvironmental emergencies, provisions to regulate the environmentaleffects of government operations and to protect the environment on andin relation to federal land and aboriginal land, disposal of wastes andother matter at sea, and the export and import of wastes.

Le texte remplace la Loi canadienne sur la protection de lenviron-nement. Ses dispositions portent principalement sur la prvention de lapollution, ltablissement de nouvelles mthodes dexamen et dva-luation des substances et la cration dobligations concernant lessubstances que le ministre de lEnvironnement et celui de la Sant

jugent effectivement ou potentiellement toxiques au sens de la partie 5.Sont en outre traits les substances biotechnologiques animes, lescombustibles, la pollution transfrontalire de latmosphre et de leau,les gaz dchappement des moteurs, les substances nutritives dont la

prsence dans les eaux favorise la croissance de vgtation aquatique,les urgences environnementales, les effets des activits de ltat surlenvironnement relativement au territoire domanial et aux terresautochtones, limmersion en mer de dchets et autres matires, ainsi quelexportation et limportation de dchets.

The enactment provides for the gathering of information for researchand the creation of inventories of data, which are designed forpublication, and for the development and publishing of objectives,guidelines and codes of practice. The enactment also provides newpowers for enforcement officers and analysts appointed by the Ministerof the Environment to enforce the law. Environmental protectionalternative measures and environmental protection compliance ordersprovide new mechanisms for the resolution of a contravention. Theenactment also specifies criteria for courts to consider on imposing asentence on an offender.

Le texte prvoit aussi la collecte dinformation en vue de larecherche, de ltablissement dinventaires de donnes et de llabora-tion dobjectifs, de directives et de codes de pratique. Les agents delautorit et analystes nomms par le ministre de lEnvironnement pourcontrler lapplication de la loi sont investis de nouveaux pouvoirs. Letexte institue deux nouveaux mcanismes de rglement en casdinfraction : les mesures de rechange en matire de protection delenvironnement et les ordres dexcution des inspecteurs. Il propose deplus aux tribunaux des facteurs prendre en considration au momentde dterminer la peine infliger aux contrevenants.

In addition, the enactment contains new rights for Canadians who,through written comments or notices of objection to the Minister of theEnvironment, may participate in decisions on environmental matters,may compel the Minister to investigate an alleged contravention of theAct, and may bring a civil action when the federal government is notenforcing the law. Aboriginal governments are provided the right ofrepresentation on the National Advisory Committee to be establishedunder the enactment and, like the provinces and territories, may seek tohave their laws declared equivalent to regulations under the CanadianEnvironmental Protection Act, 1999.

Enfin, le texte confre de nouveaux droits aux Canadiens etCanadiennes qui peuvent intervenir dans la prise de dcisions enprsentant au ministre de lEnvironnement des observations ou des avisdopposition la suite de certaines dcisions, en demandant au ministrede faire enqute sur une infraction prsume et, finalement, en intentantdes poursuites au civil en cas dinaction du gouvernement. Lesgouvernements autochtones auront le droit dtre reprsents au sein ducomit national consultatif et, linstar des provinces et territoires, defaire dclarer leurs rgles de droit quivalentes aux rglements pris envertu de laLoi canadienne sur la protection de lenvironnement (1999).
