Bill Detail

Bill C-380 proposed to remove certain plastic manufactured items from the list of toxic substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Essentially, this would have meant that these specific plastic items would no longer be subject to federal regulations as toxic substances.

The bill aimed to change the legal classification of these plastic items. This would have affected manufacturers, importers, and users of these plastic items, as well as the government's ability to regulate them under the environmental protection framework. However, this bill was defeated and did not become law.
