International Trade committee  No, we do not have any members with that position. We've been actively working with Health Canada on this file. I think Health Canada even mentioned before the pandemic about having discussions about this regulation. I think we need to look at it from the perspective of how the

International Trade committee  Good day, Madam Chair and members of the committee. It is a pleasure to be here to provide our input on the committee's study of the biocides regulations. My name is Shannon Coombs. I am the president of the CCSPA. For 25 years, I have proudly represented the many accomplishment

Environment committee  I think that what's really interesting is that this committee, back in 1999, was the first to initiate the amendment that was around the categorization and scrutiny of the domestic substances list, which ultimately turned into the chemicals management plan, which is a world-leadi

Environment committee  Very much so.

Environment committee  Thank you. When I appeared before the Senate, I had confirmed to the senators that all the products, both domestically manufactured and imported, have to meet the requirements of CEPA and its various regulations.

Environment committee  That's an interesting question. Thank you, Mr. Chair. With respect to how my member companies operate, all of our ingredients are regulated under CEPA—the Canadian Environmental Protection Act—and then many of our products are regulated under the Food and Drugs Act, the Canadia

Environment committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Environment committee  Good day, Mr. Chair and members of the committee. It's a pleasure to be here to provide our perspective on the committee's review of Bill S-5. My name is Shannon Coombs. I am the president of the Canadian Consumer Specialty Products Association. For 24 years I have proudly repre

Finance committee  I'm sorry that's not an option before the committee. We were hoping that because it came forward after first reading there would be an opportunity to make that amendment. We are talking about saving the industry a lot of money in the short term because there are initial investmen
