Non‑domestic Substances List Amendment

Summary#

This Canada Gazette notice collects several government items. It records Order 2024-87-07-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, revocations of RCMP fingerprint examiner designations, and a list of current appointment opportunities from the Privy Council Office. The practical effects are that four chemical identifiers are removed from the Non‑domestic Substances List, named RCMP members lose a specific forensic designation, and a range of public appointments are open for applications.

What it does#

• Order 2024-87-07-02 Amending the Non-domestic Substances List

  • Deletes these substance identifiers from Part I of the Non‑domestic Substances List: 4724-48-5, 165101-57-5, 2376995-24-1, 2640167-65-1.
  • States it comes into force on the day Order 2024-87-07-01 Amending the Domestic Substances List comes into force. The order is signed by Steven Guilbeault on September 3, 2024.

• Revocations of fingerprint examiner designations

  • The Royal Canadian Mounted Police had the designation of a number of named members as fingerprint examiners revoked under the Criminal Code. Multiple lists of names are published. These notices are dated September 9, 2024 and signed by Julie Thompson.

• Appointment opportunities

  • The Privy Council Office lists open Governor‑in‑Council appointment competitions. Examples include positions such as Director of the Bank of Canada, Chairperson of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation, and Chairperson of VIA Rail Canada Inc.
  • Some application closing dates shown include October 24, 2024 and September 19, 2024.

Who's affected#

• Companies, laboratories, importers, or anyone dealing with the four substances whose identifiers were removed from the Non‑domestic Substances List. The order also refers to the Domestic Substances List change that triggers when the companion order comes into force.
• The individual RCMP employees named in the revocation notices. Also teams that rely on fingerprint examiner designations inside the RCMP and any courts or investigations that depended on those examiners could be indirectly affected.
• Canadians interested in senior public roles — the appointment notice affects potential applicants for many federal boards, agencies, and crown corporations listed by the Privy Council Office.

Why it matters#

• Removing substances from the Non‑domestic Substances List normally means they are being handled differently in federal chemical tracking and regulatory lists — that can change reporting, oversight, or testing expectations for businesses and researchers who work with those chemicals.
• Revoking a fingerprint examiner designation is an administrative change that affects who is authorized to give expert fingerprint evidence. That can matter for ongoing or future forensic work and court proceedings that rely on such expertise.
• The appointment listings are the public entry point for people who want senior government roles. Deadlines and available positions matter to applicants and to the organizations that will later be led or advised by those appointees.
