NOTICE OF INTENT TO CONDUCT A STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF A FREE TRADE AGREEMENT BETWEEN CANADA AND THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN
The Government of Canada will be undertaking a Strategic Environmental Assessment of a proposed Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Jordan). Comments are invited on any likely and significant environmental impacts of this initiative on Canada. Background
In response to today’s rapidly evolving global trading environment, the Government of Canada is committed to an aggressive bilateral trade negotiations agenda, as outlined in Budget 2007 and the Government’s economic plan, Advantage Canada. On February 20, 2008, following an announcement made in July 2007 by Prime Minister Harper and his Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan to explore the feasibility of negotiating an FTA, the Government launched formal negotiations with Jordan. The decision to move forward with the negotiations followed exploratory discussions held in November 2007 in Amman, Jordan. Canada will pursue its practice of negotiating environmental and labour provisions in the context of this proposed FTA.
To learn more about this FTA and about Canada’s trade negotiations and agreements generally, you are invited to visit www.international.gc.ca/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/index.aspx?lang=en.
Additional information on this FTA initiative is available on the following Web site:
Canada-Jordan FTA Negotiations: www.international.gc.ca/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/agr-acc/jordan-jordanie.aspx?lang=en.
Strategic Environmental Assessments The Government of Canada is committed to sustainable development. Mutually supportive trade and environmental policies can contribute to this objective. This process is guided by the 2001 Framework for Conducting Environmental Assessments of Trade Negotiations with direction from the 1999 Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan, and Program Proposals. For the full text of the Framework, please refer to www.international.gc.ca/trade-agreements-accords-commerciaux/ds/Environment.aspx?lang=en.
The Framework provides a systematic process of identifying and evaluating the likely and significant positive and negative environmental impacts of a proposed free trade agreement on Canada. Public consultations are conducted throughout the process, which generally includes the following steps: 1. Announcement of the intent to conduct an Environmental Assessment, which is the purpose of this Canada Gazette notice; 2. Preparation of an Initial Environmental Assessment report that will include scoping out the main environmental issues that may arise as a result of a free trade agreement being negotiated, identifying elements of the negotiations to undergo initial analysis with respect to environmental impacts, determine the need for more detailed analysis, and identify potential mitigation and enhancement actions that could be taken; 3. Preparation of a Draft Environmental Assessment report, as required, that includes an in-depth analysis of the issues raised in the Initial Environmental Assessment; and 4. Preparation of a Final Environmental Assessment report that will be released after the conclusion of negotiations. A consistent four-step analytical methodology is applied during the Initial, Draft, and Final Environmental Assessment: — Identify the economic effects in Canada of the Agreements; — Identify the likely environmental impacts in Canada of such effects; — Assess the significance of the likely environmental impacts; and — Identify enhancement/mitigation options to inform the negotiations. The Framework recognizes that trade liberalization activity could affect the level and pattern of economic activity, and the type of products and technologies traded, and could have regulatory and policy implications. The Framework also indicates that the assessment will focus on the most likely and significant impacts of trade negotiations on the Canadian environment. Transboundary, regional and global environment impacts are considered if they have a direct impact on the Canadian environment. Environmental Assessment of an FTA between Canada and Jordan An Environmental Assessment Committee will be formed to undertake the analysis of the FTA. Coordinated by Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, the Environmental Assessment Committee includes representatives from various federal government departments and agencies. In keeping with the Framework, the analysis and preparation of the reports will be informed by input received from provincial and territorial governments, industry groups, civil society, and the public. Submissions by interested parties (see footnote a)
All interested parties are invited to submit by April 4, 2008, their views on the likely and significant environmental impacts on Canada resulting from an FTA with Jordan. Submissions should include the following: 1. The contributor’s name and address and, if applicable, that of his or her organization, institution or business; 2. The specific issues being addressed; and 3. The rationale for the position taken. Contributions can be sent by email, fax or mail to consultations@international.gc.ca (email), 613-944-3489 (fax), Environmental Assessment of the Canada-Jordan FTA, Consultations and Liaison Division, Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada, Lester B. Pearson Building, 125 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2 (mail).
All contributions will be documented and circulated to the Environmental Assessment Committee for review. [9-1-o]
Provision currently exists in the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of the enzyme amylase derived from Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus stearothermophilus and Rhizopus oryzae in the production of different food products at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice.
Health Canada has received a submission to permit the use of amylase derived from Aspergillus oryzae var. in the production of infant cereals at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice. Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of amylase derived from Aspergillus oryzae var. in these food products.
The use of amylase derived from this micro-organism will benefit the consumer through the availability of quality food products. It will also benefit industry through more efficient and improved manufacturing conditions. Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of amylase derived from Aspergillus oryzae var. in the production of infant cereals at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice. As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate use of amylase derived from Aspergillus oryzae var. in the production of the foods listed above, at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice, while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.
The proposed regulatory amendments would be enabling measures to allow the use of amylase derived from Aspergillus oryzae var. The amendments are supported by the safety assessment and would have low impact on the economy and the environment. Consequently, the regulatory amendments may proceed directly to final approval and publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
Interested persons may make representations with respect to Health Canada’s intention to amend the Regulations within 75 days after the date of publication of this notice. All such representations must cite the Canada Gazette, Part I, and the date of publication of this notice, and be addressed to the contact person identified below.

Notice of Intent — Food and Drug Regulations —Project No. 1584 — Schedule F
This Notice of Intent (NOI) is to provide an opportunity to comment on the proposal to amend Part I of Schedule F to the Food and Drug Regulations to revise the listing for naproxen and its salts to allow non-prescription status when sold for oral use with a daily dose of 440 mg.
“Naproxen and its salts” is currently listed in Part I of Schedule F without any qualifying phrases or exceptions. This means that all strengths of naproxen and its salts currently require a prescription in order to be sold in Canada.
Schedule F is a list of medicinal ingredients, the sale of which is controlled under sections C.01.041 to C.01.049 of the Food and Drug Regulations. Part I of Schedule F lists ingredients that require a prescription for human use and for veterinary use. Part II of Schedule F lists ingredients that require a prescription for human use, but do not require a prescription for veterinary use if so labelled or if in a form unsuitable for human use.
Naproxen and its salts is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that is used to treat inflammation and pain. Naproxen and naproxen sodium, a naproxen salt, have been available as prescription drugs in Canada since 1975 and 1980, respectively.
Naproxen and its salts as a non-prescription drug would have indications for use that are amenable to self-diagnosis, self-treatment and self-monitoring. These indications for use include symptomatic treatment of headache, toothache, muscular ache, backache, pain or stiffness of arthritic conditions, menstrual pain, minor aches and pain associated with the common cold and pain due to minor surgery, dental extractions and muscle sprains as well as for fever reduction. The recommended non-prescription daily dose is 440 mg. The duration of use should not exceed five days of continuous treatment without consulting a practitioner.
Naproxen sodium was approved for non-prescription use in the United States in 1994 and, subsequently, in 33 other countries. Non-prescription status is currently under review in four additional countries, including Canada. Naproxen sodium has a wide margin of safety. Postmarketing experience has shown that a 440-mg daily dose is not associated with significant adverse effects. There are no dose-related or age-related adverse effects, no special populations at risk and no clinically significant drug or food interactions. In addition to its large safety margin, side effects associated with the use of a daily 440-mg dose are minor and transient in nature, with incidence and severity being equivalent to that observed in placebo-treated groups.
The alternative option would be to leave naproxen and its salts in Schedule F for all dosages and conditions of use. As measured against the factors for listing drugs in Schedule F, it has been determined that maintaining naproxen and its salts in Schedule F for all strengths and conditions of use is not appropriate.
The availability of a non-prescription naproxen and its salts with a 440-mg daily dose would provide consumers with another option for self-treatment of mild to moderate pain.
The proposed amendment would impact on the following sectors:
The availability of naproxen and its salts with a 440-mg daily dose as a non-prescription product would provide consumers with more convenient access to treatment for pain.
Product labels would be required to include directions for use and applicable cautionary statements. This would help to provide information to the public about the product’s safe and proper use.
The public would be required to pay directly for the product, as products which do not require a prescription are not usually covered by drug insurance plans.
There would be no anticipated cost for privately funded drug benefit plans, since most do not cover the cost of non-prescription drugs.
There would be no anticipated cost to provincial drug benefit plans, since most do not cover the costs of non-prescription drugs.
This amendment would not alter existing compliance mechanisms under the provisions of the Food and Drugs Act and the Food and Drug Regulations enforced by the Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate.
The process for this consultation with stakeholders is described in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to streamline regulatory amendments to Schedule F, which came into effect on February 22, 2005. The MOU is posted on the Health Canada Web site.
This NOI is being sent by email to stakeholders and is also being posted on the Health Canada Web site and the “Consulting With Canadians” Web site.
Any comments regarding this proposed amendment should be sent within 75 days following the date of publication in the Canada Gazette, Part I. The policy analyst for this project, Karen Ash, may be contacted at the following address: Refer to Project No. 1584, Policy Division, Bureau of Policy, Science and International Programs, Therapeutic Products Directorate, Holland Cross, Tower B, 2nd Floor, 1600 Scott Street, Address Locator 3102C5, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0K9, 613-948-4623 (telephone), 613-941-6458 (fax), regaff_access@hc-sc.gc.ca (email).
In accordance with the MOU process, it is anticipated that this amendment will proceed directly from this consultation to consideration for final approval by the Governor in Council, approximately six to eight months from the date of publication of this NOI in the Canada Gazette, Part I. If the amendment is approved by the Governor in Council, publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II, would follow. The amendment will come into force on the date of registration.
