| Montreal, 19/03/1999 – 1999. In 1998, the Council of the Commission for
Environmental Cooperation (CEC) requested that the Secretariat, in cooperation with the
Joint Public Advisory Committee (JPAC), develop a mechanism for informing, educating and
consulting the North American public that would be applicable to all of the CEC's
public participation activities.
The public is invited to participate in this process by sending their
comments on a Draft Framework for Public Participation.
Once the comments are received, the Secretariat will summarize them
and, working with JPAC, will prepare a new draft, which will be presented to Council for
its approval.
Please make sure that your comments are sent to Manon Pepin at CEC
Secretariat no later than 19 April 1999, at <mpepin@ccemtl.org>, by fax at (514) 350–4314
in Montreal or at (525) 659-5023 in Mexico City, or at one of the mailing address noted
below. With your comments, please include your name, firm or organization, address,
telephone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address:

The Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC) was created in 1994
by the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC) to facilitate
cooperation and public participation in fostering conservation, protection and enhancement
of the North American environment for the benefit of present and future generations, in
the context of increasing economic, trade and social links between Canada, Mexico and the
United States.
The CEC consists of a Council of cabinet-level officials from the three
countries—Canadian Environment Minister Christine Stewart, Mexican Secretary of the
Environment, Natural Resources and Fisheries Julia Carabias, and US Environmental
Protection Agency Administrator Carol Browner—a Secretariat and a Joint Public
Advisory Committee (JPAC). |
