The federal government has made changes to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act which will increase security for dangerous goods. Most of this is being implemented due to Vancouver hosting the Olympics next year. For the most part there is nothing for anyone to do as there are no regulations for these changes. So there is nothing for us to comply with. The amendments to the regulations for these changes look like they will take some time as I imagine that plenty of people will want to comment on the proposed changes.

Now having said that, the Minister has issued an interim order, which is permitted by the changes to the Act. What the interim order states is that if a person discovers that dangerous goods have been lost, stolen or otherwise unlawfully interfered with, an immediate report must be made to: the local police, CANUTEC at 613.996.6666—and if Class 7—the Duty Officer at the CNSC at 613.995.0479.

You can find some more information at the Canada Gazette website at: http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2009/2009-08-08/html/notice-avis-eng.html#d101. This order is effective immediately. The interim order has been put in place due to the Olympics, and for the G8 Summit that will be held in Huntsville, ON in June 2010.
