Description of the horizontal initiative
The objective of the Chemicals Management Plan (CMP or "the Program") is to protect human health and the environment by addressing substances of concern in Canada. It was launched in 2006 and is jointly managed by Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).
The Program is structured around four themes : 1) research, monitoring and surveillance; 2) risk assessment; 3) risk management, compliance promotion and enforcement; and 4) transparency and engagement.
The CMP addresses both substances currently in commerce ("existing substances") and substances entering the Canadian market ("new substances"). It also takes into consideration various routes of exposure (e.g., from water, air, food, consumer products, cosmetics, pesticides, etc.), and both chronic and acute risks. When identifying and/or managing risks, actions are guided by the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), the Food and Drugs Act (F&DA), the Pest Control Products Act (PCPA), and others, as appropriate.
For more information, see the Government of Canada's Chemical Substances Portal.
Governance structures
Health Canada and ECCC share the overall responsibility for delivering the CMP. The Departments fulfill their responsibilities through established internal departmental governance structures, as well as a joint CMP governance structure to address shared responsibilities.
Within the joint structure, there is a CMP Horizontal Initiative Oversight Committee comprised of implicated Assistant Deputy Ministers (ADMs) from the two partner organizations. Meetings of the CMP Horizontal Initiative Oversight Committee are co-chaired by the ADM of the Healthy Environments and Consumer Safety Branch, Health Canada, the ADM of the Environmental Protection Branch, ECCC, and the ADM of the Science and Technology Branch, ECCC. This Committee provides strategic direction and management oversight for the integrated delivery and management of the CMP. This Committee will also resolve any broader issues within the Horizontal Initiative. This Committee reports to the Deputy Ministers of Health Canada and of ECCC and is responsible for the overall management of the CMP. It meets approximately four times a year.
The CMP Horizontal Initiative Oversight Committee is supported by the CMP Steering Committee, which consists of all implicated Directors General (DGs) within Health Canada and ECCC. The CMP Steering Committee also meets four times a year, although some DG sub-groups meet monthly. The CMP Steering Committee provides a regular open exchange of information and decisions on a broad range of operational and policy issues for the implementation of CMP.
The CMP Steering Committee is supported by a CMP Working Group, a director-level Committee that meets every two weeks to provide oversight of the CMP's implementation and coordination, and seeks to resolve issues that may arise, while developing options and making recommendations to DGs as needed. Overall, this joint CMP governance structure supports integration, co-ordination, decision-making, and clear accountabilities within the Horizontal Initiative.

Planning highlights
In 2025-26, the Program will:
- conduct science-based assessments and risk management activities, as needed, on both new and existing substances. This includes identifying and addressing risks posed by harmful chemicals in foods and food packaging materials, consumer products, cosmetics, drinking water, and industrial processes. This also includes managing risks for existing substances, including developing, implementing, and/or administering mandatory (e.g., regulations) and voluntary (e.g., codes of practice) instruments as appropriate.
- conduct pesticide re-evaluations and special reviews as legislated under the PCPA. In addition, review incident and sales reporting data from industry to identify pesticide trends and inform re-evaluations, special reviews, work planning, and prioritization.
- conduct research to address priority knowledge gaps related to the exposure and the effects of substances on human health and the environment, as well as the presence of chemicals of concern in consumer and other products under the CMP, to inform risk assessments, risk management, and international activities.
- conduct targeted monitoring and surveillance activities related to existing and emerging chemicals of concern to inform risk assessments, risk management, and international activities.
- evaluate the effectiveness of risk management measures in reducing the use and release of harmful substances.
- raise industry's awareness of regulatory and legislative requirements and conduct risk-based compliance promotion and enforcement activities.
- increase proactive communications to the public to raise awareness of the risks and safe use of substances, including greater use of partnerships to expand the reach of messaging, with a focus on disproportionately impacted populations.
- participate in a range of international activities, including binding treaties, that support the sound management of chemicals domestically and globally.
- undertake engagement activities to support CMP decision-making and to build capacity of Indigenous partners and civil society to participate in the program.
- enhance the cost-recovery framework for the CMP.
