EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the notice.) In June 1992, Canada was one of over 150 countries to sign the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (Convention) at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (Earth Summit) held in Rio de Janeiro. Canada became the eighth country to ratify the Convention, which entered into force on March 21, 1994. The Convention sets an objective of stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that prevents dangerous anthropogenic (human-induced) interference with the climate system. Canada's National Action Program on Climate Change identifies climate change as an environmental issue of concern to the federal government. In December 1997, at the third meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-3) to the Convention, held in Kyoto, in Japan, Canada and 160 other countries, adopted the Kyoto Protocol. Article 3 of the Kyoto Protocol commits developed countries to reducing their collective emissions of six key greenhouse gases by at least five percent below 1990 levels in the commitment period 2008 to 2012. Canada's greenhouse gas reduction commitment in Annex B of the Kyoto Protocol is listed as six percent below 1990 levels for the period spanning 2008 to 2012. Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are a class of compounds that have intrinsic global warming potential and are included as one of the six key greenhouse gases listed in the Kyoto Protocol. This notice requires information specifically on certain hydrofluorocarbons (Schedule 1). The information is requested for the 1999 and 2000 calendar years and will assist Environment Canada to understand the use of these substances and assess the need for control strategies. This notice was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, pursuant to paragraph 71(1)(b) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA, 1999). This notice requires the persons to whom it applies to provide certain information on their activities with respect to the substances listed in Schedule 1. Pursuant to subsection 71(3) of CEPA, 1999, every person to whom this notice applies is required to comply with this notice within the time specified in the notice. The time specified in this notice is May 31, 2001. Compliance with CEPA, 1999 is mandatory. Subsection 272(1) of CEPA, 1999 provides that: 272. (1) Every person commits an offence who contravenes
(a) a provision of this Act or the regulations; (b) an obligation or a prohibition arising from this Act or the regulations; (c) an order or a direction made under this Act;
... Subsection 272(2) of CEPA, 1999 provides that: 272. (2) Every person who commits an offence under subsection (1) is liable (a) on conviction on indictment, to a fine of not more than $1,000,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or to both; and (b) on summary conviction, to a fine of not more than $300,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both. Furthermore, with respect to providing false or misleading information, subsection 273(1) of CEPA, 1999 provides that: 273. (1) Every person commits an offence who, with respect to any matter related to this Act or the regulations, (a) provides any person with any false or misleading information, results or samples; or (b) files a document that contains false or misleading information. Subsection 273(2) of CEPA, 1999 provides that: 273. (2) Every person who commits an offence under subsection (1) is liable (a) on conviction on indictment, to a fine of not more than $1,000,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or to both, if the offence is committed knowingly; (b) on summary conviction, to a fine of not more than $300,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, if the offence is committed knowingly; (c) on conviction on indictment, to a fine of not more than $500,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than three years, or to both, if the offence is committed negligently; and (d) on summary conviction, to a fine of not more than $200,000 or to imprisonment for a term of not more than six months, or to both, if the offence is committed negligently.
