Environment Canada held its first consultation sessions on the development of the proposed regulations in 2000. They included meetings with representatives from the following groups:

• Non-government organizations (NGOs) (February 17, 2000, Toronto)
• Provincial environment ministries (by conference call, February 17, 2000, Toronto)
• Ontario municipalities and the private sector (February 18, 2000, Toronto)
• Quebec-based industry (February 24, 2000, Montréal)
• NGOs and the Quebec Ministry of Environment (February 24, 2000, Montréal)
• All sectors, including NGOs, industry, and provincial and municipal governments (March 10, 2000, Vancouver)

Following these consultations, a discussion paper was prepared entitled Development of Regulatory Options for the Export and Import of Prescribed Non-Hazardous Wastes Destined for Final Disposal. The paper was made available for public comment on the Web site of the CEPA Environmental Registry from August 31 to December 31, 2000.

Comments received were assembled and reviewed, and a second series of multi-stakeholder consultations were organized to further review the options paper and seek additional input. Four workshops were held across Canada in March 2001, with invitations and follow-up calls made to representatives from all levels of government, industry, waste-management firms, and environmental NGOs.

Consultation sessions held in 2001 included meetings with representatives from the following groups:

• Industry and governments (March 16, 2001, Moncton)
• The private sector and NGOs (March 20, 2001, Montréal)
• Industry, the private sector, NGOs, and US state officials (March 23, 2001, Toronto)
• Industry, the private sector, and NGOs (March 27, 2001, Vancouver)

Comments received from the 2001 consultations were assembled and reviewed in preparation for development of these proposed regulatory provisions. Follow-up calls were made to representatives from all levels of government, industry, waste-management firms, and environmental NGOs.

In 2001, the Quebec stakeholder awareness-raising project began with the creation of a list of stakeholders in the province who were possibly involved in the export or import of non-hazardous waste. These multi-stakeholder consultations were organized to further review the options paper and seek additional input from Quebec stakeholders.

Since that time, a number of multi-stakeholder-focused meetings have been held on approaches to dealing with exports and imports of non-hazardous waste. Nearly 400 stakeholders participated in these consultations, putting forth questions and comments on a wide array of subjects related to the proposed regulatory provisions. Most of these dealt with:

• the implementation of prior informed consent;
• the definition of non-hazardous waste subject to the proposed regulatory provisions;
• the implementation of waste-export reduction plans; and
• the prescription of tracking mechanisms.

   1. the person responsible for the movement;

   4. for transits of non-hazardous waste through Canada, any waste transfer facility.
   5. the authorized carriers; and
   6. the authorized facilities.
4. For each non-hazardous waste, information on
   1. the type and source (e.g., solid non-hazardous waste or ash from solid non-hazardous waste and municipality of origin);
   2. the total quantity shipped over the notice period in kilograms or litres of waste; and
   3. the applicable disposal code (see Appendix B)
5. The modes of transport used
