Section 4: CEPA-related information

Research publications

Environment Canada and Health Canada scientists published over 300 reports, papers, book chapters, articles and manuscripts on subjects related to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA) during 1998–99. This impressive body of work appeared in books and scientific journals, which are available in libraries and from the publishers. Departmental publications are available from the Departmental library or the nearest regional library. Many current Departmental publications are also available through Environment Canada’s Inquiry Centre, located on the main floor of Place Vincent Massey, 351 St. Joseph Boulevard, Hull, Quebec K1A 0H3.

Further information on specific CEPA-related publications may be found on the Internet at the web site addresses listed throughout this annual report.
