International Trade committee In your example, biocides that are used to sanitize a beef carcass are regulated under the Food and Drugs Act and are captured as part of this work on the biocides regulations.

International Trade committee We've certainly seen a larger demand since the COVID-19 pandemic for a variety of innovative products, some of which are part of the biocides regulations, such as laundry additives. We've seen a higher demand for products that will sanitize textiles and clothing, as well as surfaces. There's another subset of products that have a greater interest in entering the Canadian market, which will remain under the Pest Control Products Act.

International Trade committee Why do the proposed regulations not apply to certain products, such as certain disinfectants and surface sanitizers?
October 31st, 2023Committee meeting
International Trade committee Before, different disinfectants or sanitizers went under different reviews. Now it's going to be under one review. I would call that cutting red tape, streamlining and more efficiency. Would you agree with that assessment?

Environment committee Water and sanitation services should be physically and economically accessible on an equal and non-discriminatory basis. Canada recognizes that a lack of water, sanitation and hygiene affects women disproportionately, as they often have the primary responsibility to collect and manage water resources.

Environment committee The department is actively engaged in activities that contribute to Canada's achievement of United Nations sustainable development goal number 3 of good health and well-being, and goal number 6 of clean water and sanitation. Continued work to resolve all long-term drinking water advisories directly contributes to goal number 6, which aims to ensure that all Canadians have access to clean drinking water.

Taxation I was just talking to Scott Stewart, who runs True North Distilleries. He needs the CEBA loan extended. His distillery also pivoted to help provide sanitizer for public health agencies through the pandemic. They just cannot absorb this kind of punishment. We need to make sure that we are supporting small business with urgency, especially with the impact of climate-related emergencies.

Health committee This includes everything from reducing animal density to reducing the mixing of unfamiliar animals, improving ventilation, sanitation, environmental enrichment and increasing the amount of time before animals are weaned and separated from their mother. All of these are solutions to reduce the use of antibiotics given prophylactically, which is routinely done in Canada and around the world and the reason that 75% of antibiotics are given to farm animals today.

Agriculture committee Those can be very stressful inspections as well, which shows that they want to make sure they are meeting the standards put in front of them when it comes to animal health, sanitation and all those things when the CFIA comes by. Yes, whether it's a member of Parliament coming by to visit your farm, a fuel supplier or the guy coming to pick up the milk every day, there are constantly people coming by who have a lawful reason to be there.

Status of Women committee Lack of access to clean water, affordable menstrual products and private female-friendly sanitation facilities led to high-risk behaviours including transactional sex to buy pads or the unhealthy reliance on makeshift products like old socks, mattress stuffing, goat skin, dried cow dung and reportedly the washing and reusing of products intended for single use.

Leisa Hirtz
Status of Women committee It's a complex issue, and this is where sustainable products come in, because the challenges they're having with single-use products are distribution and stock out challenges, as well as female-friendly sanitation facilities. Kenya is advanced. It was the first country to eliminate single-use plastics.

Procedure and House Affairs committee The Five Eyes have survived existential leaker damage from Kim Philby to Edward Snowden, and they have much bigger preoccupations with the China target than what could be considered our slightly more pedestrian, but certainly domestic, foreign interference investigation. Five Eyes reporting—and, yes, I have no doubt there probably is some—can be sanitized for disclosure. Additionally, it can be reviewed either through witness testimony or through reports in camera at a public inquiry. The Five Eyes are not a showstopper. The Five Eyes are not like the Eye of Sauron, looking down at our public inquiry with grave concerns.

Transport committee I would hope witnesses would be diligent in the words they use as well, in particular in the correspondence between those words and the facts. To use sanitized language, this is a point of misinformation that is of significant consequence for this file because it seems that McKinsey was effectively able to infiltrate the government and shape decision-making on many levels and benefit from that shaping of decision-making.

Canadian Consumer Specialty Products Association During the pandemic, it worked tirelessly to ensure Canadians had access to disinfectants, wipes, hand sanitizers and cleaning products. I give a shout-out to Shannon Coombs, who has been the president of the CCSPA for more than 25 years, shaping the best consumer product landscape for Canadians.

Health of Animals Act Before our tree-planting operation was allowed anywhere onto the property, we had to have all of our vehicles sanitized to make sure that there was no danger of foot and mouth disease being transferred to the operation. This just gives members a sense of the operations that are currently in place. I know this is replicated in farms across the country, but these are operations that I have personally witnessed and had to partake in.
