Shannon Coombs

As of 2001, all substances in products under the Food and Drugs Act are regulated under CEPA using the NSNs. What we're asking for is that any of the substances used in the last 20 years simply be put on a list and put through a categorization process, just as existing substances do, and that they be treated as such under CEPA. With the scheduling of the Food and Drugs Act not taking place, it has put those substances into limbo. We would like legislative clarity and direction from Parliament on those.

Thank you.
