The NRTEE's state of the debate reports synthesize the results of stakeholder consultations on potential opportunities for sustainable development. They summarize the extent of consensus and reasons for disagreement, review the consequence of action or inaction, and recommend steps specific stakeholders can take to promote sustainability.--Mandate In 1998, the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRTEE) began a multistakeholder process to investigate how government assesses chemical substances and how it makes decisions about their use. This report documents the results of that work, presenting 11 recommendations aimed at improving the decision-making processes designed to protect Canadians from health impacts that could result from contact with dangerous chemicals in air, water, soil and food.--Page 3
