Users should take note that this notice sets out the requirements for reporting to the NPRI for two individual calendar years — 2014 and 2015. Information for the 2014 calendar year must be submitted by June 1, 2015. Information for the 2015 calendar year must be submitted by June 1, 2016.
Users of this notice should take note of the changes to reporting requirements, as described below, which are in effect as of the 2014 calendar year. Consultations were undertaken with respect to these changes. Information on the rationale for these changes is available on the NPRI Web site at www.ec.gc.ca/npri.
Substances added to the NPRI substance list
2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)ethanol (CAS RN 111-77-3) has been added to the list of Schedule 1, Part 1, Group A substances (10-tonne mass threshold, 1% concentration threshold).
Thallium (and its compounds) has been added to the list of Part 1, Group B substances (100-kg mass threshold, 1% concentration threshold).
Reduced thresholds
Eight substances or substance groups have been moved from Part 1, Group A to Part 1, Group B:
Acrylonitrile (CAS RN 107-13-1),
Bisphenol A (CAS RN 80-05-7),
Hydrazine (and its salts) (CAS RN 302-01-2),
Isoprene (CAS RN 78-79-5),
Nonylphenol and its ethoxylates,
Toluene-2,4-diisocyanate (CAS RN 584-84-9),
Toluene-2,6-diisocyanate (CAS RN 91-08-7), and
Toluenediisocyanate (mixed isomers) (CAS RN 26471-62-5).
The mass threshold for these substances has been reduced from 10 tonnes, and, in some cases, the concentration threshold has been reduced from 1% (see Schedule 3, Table 1).
Quinoline (CAS RN 91-22-5) has been moved from Part 1, Group A to Part 2 (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs]). The 10-tonne mass threshold has been reduced to 50 kg for total PAHs, including quinoline, and 5 kg for reporting quinoline itself.
Deleted substances
Five substances have been removed from the Part 1, Group A list:
Allyl chloride (CAS RN 107-05-1),
C.I. Solvent Orange 7 (CAS RN 3118-97-6),
3-Chloro-2-methyl-1-propene (CAS RN 563-47-3),
Ethyl chloroformate (CAS RN 541-41-3), and
1-Bromo-2-chloroethane (CAS RN 107-04-0).
The requirement to report releases to land and water, disposals, and transfers for recycling for total reduced sulphur has been removed. Only releases of total reduced sulphur to air are required to be reported.
Environmental Petition 317, submitted to the Office of the Auditor General of Canada in June 2011, requested that companies be required to report substances released through the use of hydraulic fracturing fluids to extract shale gas, and the injection of solvents at in situ oil sands facilities. In developing this notice, Environment Canada considered possible changes to the NPRI requirements to address the requests in Petition 317.
In response to the request for reporting of solvent use for in situ oil sands facilities, it has been made explicit in this notice that releases to land that are not for the purposes of disposal are to include both underground and surface releases, to ensure that it is clear that underground releases must be reported.
No changes were made related to reporting of substances used in hydraulic fracturing fluid. Therefore, the exemption for oil and gas exploration and drilling and the 20 000-hour employee threshold continue to apply to hydraulic fracturing activities.
The National Pollutant Release Inventory — Background information
The NPRI is Canada’s legislated, publicly accessible inventory of pollutant releases, disposals and recycling. It includes information collected from facilities under the authority of section 46 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (the Act), together with air pollutant emission estimates compiled by Environment Canada for facilities that are not required to report and for non-industrial sources such as motor vehicles, residential heating, forest fires and agriculture.
The Act contains information-gathering provisions, which allow the Minister of the Environment to require reporting of information on certain substances. The provisions also require the Minister to establish and publish a national inventory of releases of pollutants. These provisions under the Act form the primary legislative basis for the NPRI.
For the latest reporting year, over 7 700 industrial, commercial and other facilities reported to Environment Canada on their releases, disposals and transfers for recycling of more than 300 substances of concern. Air pollutant emission estimates for other facilities and non-industrial sources were also compiled for air pollutants contributing to smog, acid rain and/or poor air quality, selected heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants.
The NPRI is at the centre of the Government of Canada’s efforts to track toxic substances and other substances of concern. It is a key tool for identifying and monitoring sources of pollution in Canada, as well as for developing indicators for the quality of our air, water and land. Information collected through the NPRI is used for chemicals management initiatives and it is made publicly available to Canadians each year. Public access to the NPRI motivates industry to prevent and reduce pollutant releases. NPRI data helps the Government of Canada to track progress in pollution prevention, evaluate releases and transfers of substances of concern, identify environmental priorities, conduct air quality modelling, and implement policy initiatives and risk management measures.
For more information on the NPRI, including guidance documents, annual summary reports, and access to the NPRI data in a variety of formats, including an online search and databases, please visit the NPRI Web site at www.ec.gc.ca/inrp-npri.
Input from stakeholders and other interested parties on the NPRI is welcome. Contact information is provided at the beginning of this notice.
Reporting to the National Pollutant Release Inventory
Reporting requirements outlined in this notice are now collected via Environment Canada’s Single Window reporting system (see http://ec.gc.ca/gu-sw for more information).
For those who meet the requirements of this notice, reporting is mandatory. Obtaining the relevant guidance documents is the responsibility of the person required to report under this notice. Visit the NPRI Web site (www.ec.gc.ca/npri) or contact Environment Canada at the address provided at the beginning of this notice for guidance documents.
Changes to contacts, ownership and reported information
It is important that contact and ownership information be kept up to date and any errors in submitted data be corrected in a timely manner, so that the information provided by the NPRI continues to be relevant and accurate. Therefore, persons who submitted reports for a previous year are strongly encouraged to update their information, through the Single Window reporting system or by contacting Environment Canada directly, if
there has been a change in the name, address, telephone number, or email address of the contacts identified for the facility since the submission of the report for the previous year;
there is a change in the owner or operator of a facility for which a report has been submitted for the previous year; or
the person becomes aware that the information submitted for any previous year was mistaken or inaccurate.
If a person is providing an update to previously submitted information, the person should indicate the reason the information is being updated.
Compliance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 is mandatory
Compliance with the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”) is mandatory pursuant to subsections 272(1) and 272.1(1) of the Act. Amendments to the fine scheme of the Act came into force on June 22, 2012. Subsections 272(2), (3) and (4) and 272.1(2), (3) and (4) of the Act set the penalties for persons who commit an offence under the Act. Offences include failing to comply with an obligation arising from the Act and providing false or misleading information. Penalties for offences can result, upon conviction (either summary conviction or indictment), in fines of not more than $12 million, imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or both.
The current text of the Act, including the most recent amendments, is available on the Department of Justice’s Web site: http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-15.31.
The Act is enforced in accordance with the Compliance and Enforcement Policy for the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, available at www.ec.gc.ca/lcpe-cepa/default.asp?lang= En&n=5082BFBE-1. Suspected violations under the Act can be reported to the Enforcement Branch by email at environmental.enforcement@ec.gc.ca.

Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel (full-time position)
Salary range: From $147,400 to $173,300
The Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel is responsible for providing legal advice to members of Parliament, the House of Commons standing committees and the Administration, including the Board of Internal Economy. He or she may intervene in court actions on behalf of the Speaker of the House of Commons or members of Parliament (members) to ensure that parliamentary rights and immunities are respected. The Office of the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel also provides legislative assistance to members in drafting private members’ bills and motions to amend bills, and ensures that bills are correctly printed or reprinted with amendments as approved by the House of Commons (the House) or one of its committees and when ultimately enacted as Acts of Parliament.
The successful candidate would possess a degree in law from a recognized university and must be a member of at least 10 years’ standing of the bar of any province or territory of Canada or the Chambre des notaires du Québec. Graduate studies in constitutional and/or public law would be an asset.
The ideal candidate would have leadership and management experience at the senior executive level in a public or private sector organization, preferably in a legal or judicial context, and at the federal level. Experience in providing strategic advice and making decisions on complex and sensitive issues, as well as experience in negotiating and achieving consensus on complex issues among a variety of stakeholders with competing objectives, is desired. Experience with the legislative process, in the preparation and amendment of legislation, and in dealing with parliamentarians/legislators would be an asset.
The ideal candidate would be knowledgeable about the mandate, role and responsibilities of the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel, as well as the legislative framework within which he or she carries out the mandate, in particular the Parliament of Canada Act; the Constitution Act, 1867 and the Constitution Act, 1982, including the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; the Canada Elections Act; the Parliamentary Employment and Staff Relations Act; the Official Languages Act and other federal laws applicable to the House of Commons. Substantial understanding of the constitutional role, responsibilities and practices of the Crown, the Parliament of Canada and the Government of Canada, particularly the roles and responsibilities of the House of Commons and the Senate, and of the law of parliamentary privilege, is desired. He or she would also possess substantial knowledge of the legal framework governing public institutions at the federal level based on law and practice and knowledge of current legislative initiatives.
The qualified candidate would possess strong leadership and managerial skills as well as have the ability to provide impartial and authoritative advice and support on procedural and legal matters to the Speaker of the House, the Clerk of the House and the Board of Internal Economy. The ability to effectively frame legal issues and deliver legal advice to members, including before House committees, and to respond to complex situations with multiple competing interests in a partisan environment, is desired. In addition to having the ability to effectively advise senior managers of the House on administrative and governance matters, the ideal candidate would also be able to interpret relevant statutes, analyze differing opinions and complex situations and respond strategically and reasonably, with a view to making recommendations that are fair and equitable. The ideal candidate would possess superior communication skills, both written and oral.
The ideal candidate would possess sound judgment in a highly stressful environment and excellent interpersonal skills. He or she should be decisive, impartial, tactful and discreet. Finally, the ideal candidate would possess integrity and high ethical standards.
The successful candidate must reside in or be prepared to relocate to the National Capital Region or to a location within reasonable commuting distance, and will be frequently required to work long hours due to House of Commons and member of Parliament business associated with regular and extended sittings and frequent urgencies that arise.
