On December 15, 2016, the Government of Canada announced a broader government strategy to ban asbestos and asbestos-containing products by 2018. In addition to the amendments to occupational health and safety regulations on asbestos announced today, the approach includes new regulations under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, updates to national building codes to prohibit the use of asbestos in new construction and renovation projects across Canada and support for listing chrysotile asbestos to the Rotterdam Convention as a hazardous material. The goal of the asbestos ban is to reduce the incidence of asbestos-related diseases over time.
