Amendment 18
- Pre-publication initiates a 70-day public comment period, which will end on August 31, 2024.
- Natural Resources Canada encourages you to submit your comments online using the new commenting feature on the Canada Gazette, Part I website. Please note that in order to increase the transparency of the regulatory process, all comments submitted during the consultation period will be posted online after the 70-day period closes.
- All comments will be taken into consideration in the development of the final Regulations that will be published in the Canada Gazette, Part II. You can submit comments at any point throughout the 70-day period, but early submission will allow for early analysis of any potential changes to the proposal to address concerns.
- Amendment 18 proposes the incorporation by reference of NRCan technical standards documents for two energy using products. These documents have been posted on the Amendment 18 page and are subject to the same 70-day comment period as the rest of the amendment.
