Within Environment Canada, the Divison leads the Departmental program for assessing priority substances under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) as well as other initiatives under CEPA 1999. These include categorization and screening of the Domestic Substances List (DSL) as well as Section 75, which involves exchanging information and reviewing decisions from other jurisdictions on specifically prohibited or substantially restricted substances. The Division is also involved in other federal, intergovernmental and international assessment initiatives including the Toxic Substances Management Policy (TSMP), and the chemicals program of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
