Toxic substances management policy : report on public consultations / Government of Canada, Environment Canada.: En40-499/3-1995E-PDF
"Canadians are increasingly concerned about the effects of toxic substances on the environment and human health. Experience shows that some substances, especially those that are bioaccumulative and persistent, can cause unforeseen, long-term problems that are difficult and costly to correct. A precautionary and preventive approach to manage these substances, before they cause problems, is the most effective way to protect the environment and human health. The Toxic Substances Management Policy responds to public concerns by setting out how the federal government will deal with toxic substances, both domestically and internationally. The policy calls for decisive federal action that is consistent and predictable, and that benefits the environment, the Canadian public and industry"--Background.
