Manufacturers, importers, retailers and advertisers that sell products in Canada can expect to see a flurry of regulatory change relating to consumer products later this year. The activity — culminating in House of Commons Bill C-6, “An Act respecting the safety of consumer products” — stems from an increased focus by the Canadian government on the regulatory controls for consumer products.
Bill C-6, known colloquially as the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (CCPSA), was introduced in Canada’s House of Commons on Jan. 29. If enacted into law as drafted, the CCPSA will reconstitute the federal organization Health Canada as a powerful regulator of consumer products, providing it with unprecedented authority to inspect and influence the supply chain for consumer goods.
