numerous other supply chain issues straining their business and jobs. Depending on the
outcome of these Government consultations, member companies will have to devote
further resources to new product formulations or make necessary adjustments, increase
research related to informed substitution, and more field testing or re-labelling to ensure
that the impacted consumer products can remain on the market. We all hope that this is
not the case, but hope is not a plan. Fewer products mean less choice, less competition
and increased costs. In the current economic climate these activities are placing a huge
strain on R&D, worker productivity, and business competitiveness and, in some cases, the
mental health of employees in our sector.

Federal government consultation
vision
and engagement processes generally
operate well and are incredibly valuable
to our work on many Government
policies and regulations. CPCA and the
CASE sector, writ large, must ensure
that Government officials consider
all relevant feedback in its ongoing
regulatory development process. It
greatly impacts the CASE sector's
operations and products (eg. MEKO,
flame retardants, and MSP). Providing
feedback is a time consuming and
resource intensive process for
industry. It requires internal review of
legislation, important data collection,
analysis of socio-economic impacts,
and external coordination among
suppliers across Canada and in other
jurisdictions. CPCA must work to
ensure that all the available technical
data is used wisely to inform evidencebased
decisions for the benefit of both
human health and the environment.
Without such information more use
restrictions or bans are assured.
For the 2022 and 2023 calendar
years, CPCA asked federal Government
departments to relax tight time
constraints on our members related
to survey and reporting requirements,
provide longer consultation periods
for industry, improve development/
implementation timelines for risk
management instruments, and fully
consider extensions when necessary
to ensure adequate stakeholder
feedback is provided before final
decisions are made. CPCA has also
encouraged government departments
to coordinate consultation timelines
and overlaps related to policy and
regulatory proposals both within their
own departments and across other
departments and agencies where
possible.
CPCA and its members remain
committed to working with the federal
government to participate in regulatory
development, for better health and
safety of workers and all Canadians.
However, this must be done without
impeding innovation, investment, jobs,
and economic growth. Without the
latter there will be greater things to
worry about in Canada.
