"Every year, a large amount of hazardous waste crosses the border between Canada and the United States for recycling or disposal. In 1986, Canada and the United States reached an agreement to protect the environment and human health from the movements of these hazardous wastes between the two countries. This is an important agreement for Canada as it sets the rules and conditions allowing these transboundary movements. Canada is actively engaged in this agreement, as close collaboration between the two countries is needed to reduce the environmental and health risks associated with these hazardous wastes"--Plain language summary.
