Thank you.
As for labelling, the Regulatory Impact Analysis says, and I'm quoting Health Canada here, that “a preliminary scan did not identify important environmental impacts and concluded that a detailed strategic environmental assessment is not required” and that “the additional environmental impact of this initiative over and above the normal labelling process is expected to be minimal.”
However, the industry has been testing labelling with the new requirements in mind. To comply, not only the labels, but also the containers will have to be bigger. You've been told that modifications are needed. In a regulatory impact assessment, you stated that “no evidence was presented to support the claims made” by industry regarding additional costs and environmental impact. However, you didn't have an environmental impact assessment either, because you hadn't deemed it necessary to do one.
Are you open to the idea of having a more updated labelling model, worthy of 2023? Already, the labelling is outdated. You're going to ask that we operate with paper, labels, boxes and so on. This model will be applied for the next 10 years, so why aren't you using QR codes? Otherwise, in three years' time, this will be obsolete and, on top of that, you'll have hurt the industry.
How do you see it? Are you open to changes in this regard?
