Strategic performance measurement : evaluating the effectiveness of risk management actions on toxic substances in protecting Canadians and their environment.: En14-408/2020E-PDF
"The Government of Canada actively manages toxic substances through the Chemicals Management Plan. When a substance is found toxic to human health or the environment under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Government takes action to manage the risk identified. While this work has been ongoing for many years, no systematic evaluation of these actions has been undertaken. The fall 2018 report of the Commissioner of the Environment and Sustainable Development (CESD) to the Parliament of Canada found that Health Canada and Environment and Climate Change Canada should do more to “assess whether they were meeting their overall objectives to reduce the risks of toxic substances to human health and the environment"--Executive summary, page [1].
