Posting to Table 1 signals Health Canada’s understanding that these consumer products pose hazards of concern. This is the first step towards determining whether mandatory rules for the manufacture, import, advertising and sale of lithium-ion batteries are required to help protect the health and safety of people in Canada. Health Canada will continue its assessment of the burn, fire and explosion hazards posed by these products, and continue evaluating the most appropriate legislative tools to mitigate risk to the people of Canada. As this work progresses in the coming months, people in Canada will be invited to comment during public consultations on the proposed path forward.&nbsp;</span></span></span></p><p style="color: #424242; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p><p style="color: #424242; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">We recognize that this is an area of joint interest and look forward to continuing to work with your organization on this topic.</span></span></span></p><p aria-hidden="true" style="color: #424242; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">&nbsp;</span></span></span></p><p style="color: #424242; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #000000;">For more information, please contact a Health Canada’s Consumer Product Safety Program via email&nbsp;<a href="mailto:ccpsa-lcspc@hc-sc.gc.ca" data-linkindex="1" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">ccpsa-lcspc@hc-sc.gc.ca</a>&nbsp;or telephone at 1-866-662-0666 (toll-free within Canada and the United States).</span></span></span></p><p style="color: #424242; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">&nbsp;</span></span></p><hr /><p style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #424242; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #c00000;"><strong>NOUVEAUTÉS du Programme de la sécurité des produits de consommation de Santé Canada</strong></span></p><p style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: #424242; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p><p style="color: #424242; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><span lang="fr-CA" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Le Programme de la sécurité des produits de consommation de Santé Canada souhaite vous informer que nous avons ajouté les " piles au lithium-ion et les produits de consommation qui contiennent des piles au lithium-ion " au tableau 1 des interdictions générales en vertu de la LCSPC&nbsp;</span><a data-auth="NotApplicable" href="https://www.canada.ca/fr/sante-canada/services/securite-produits-consommation/legislation-lignes-directrices/lignes-directrices-politiques/information-parties-reglementees-approche-application-generales-prevues.html" data-linkindex="2" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span lang="fr-CA" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">interdictions générales en vertu de la LCSPC</span></span></a><span lang="fr-CA" style="border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-optical-sizing: inherit; font-kerning: inherit; font-feature-settings: inherit; font-variation-settings: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">.

<title>Petition in Support of Volunteer Firefighters and Search and Rescue personnel</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-size: 15px; color: #c00000;"><strong>Petition in Support of Bill C-310: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act<br />(Volunteer Firefighting and Search and Rescue Volunteer Tax Credit)</strong></span>
    </span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong><span style="color: #c00000;">&nbsp;</span></strong>
    </span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-size: 15px;"><strong>Pétition à l'appui du projet de loi C-310: Loi modifiant la Loi de l'impôt sur le revenu<br />(services de pompier volontaire et de volontaire en recherche et sauvetage)</strong></span></span>
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #c00000;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><strong><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000;"></span></strong><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000;">Canada has 90,000 volunteer firefighters who provide fire and all hazard emergency services to their communities. Many of these individuals receive some form of pay on call, an honorarium, or are given some funding to cover expenses, but they do not draw a living wage from firefighting. About 30% of them pay out of pocket to cover expenses associated with the service they provide to their community. An additional 3,000 search and rescue volunteers also offer critical services.<br /><br />Without volunteer firefighters and search and rescue volunteers, thousands of communities in Canada would have no fire and emergency response coverage. The tax base just can’t handle the cost of a career department.<br /><br />In 2013, the federal government initiated a tax credit recognizing these individuals, but that tax credit has not kept up with cost of living. MP Gord Johns has been calling on the federal government to increase this tax credit from $3,000 to $10,000.<br /><br />In support of this Bill, we are circulating two petitions (an electronic and paper version – both of which can be signed by the same individuals), calling upon the Government of Canada to support Bill C-310 and enact amendments to subsections 118.06(2) and 118.07(2) of the Income Tax Act in order to increase the amount of the tax credits for volunteer firefighting and search and rescue volunteer services from $3,000 to $10,000.</span></span>

</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;"><span style="font-size: 13px;">Le Canada compte 90 000 pompiers volontaires qui fournissent des services d'incendie et d'urgence tous risques à leurs communautés. Nombre d'entre eux perçoivent un paiement sur appel ou des honoraires, ou bénéficient d'un financement pour couvrir leurs dépenses, mais ils ne tirent pas de leur activité de pompier un salaire suffisant pour vivre. Environ 30 % d'entre eux paient de leur poche les dépenses liées au service qu'ils rendent à leur communauté. En outre, 8 000 autres volontaires procurent des services de recherche<br />et de sauvetage essentiels.<br /><br />Sans l’apport précieux de ces volontaires, des milliers de communautés au Canada ne disposeraient d'aucune couverture en matière de lutte contre les incendies et d'intervention d'urgence. L'assiette fiscale ne peut tout simplement pas supporter le coût d'un service professionnel.<br /><br />En 2013, le gouvernement fédéral a mis en place un crédit d'impôt pour ces personnes, mais ce crédit d'impôt n'a pas suivi l'évolution du coût de la vie. Le député Gord Johns fait appel au gouvernement fédéral pour revaloriser de 3 000 à 10 000 dollars ce crédit d’impôt.<br /><br />Pour appuyer ce projet de loi, nous faisons circuler deux pétitions (une version électronique et une version papier - les deux pouvant être signées par les mêmes personnes), demandant au gouvernement du Canada d'appuyer le projet de loi C-310 et d'adopter des modifications aux paragraphes 118.06(2) et 118.07(2) de la Loi de l'impôt sur le revenu afin de bonifier de 3 000 $ à 10 000 $ le montant du crédit d'impôt pour les services volontaires de lutte contre les incendies et les services volontaires de recherche et de sauvetage.</span></span>

    characteristics of cancers as reported by women in the fire service.</span></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p class="mb15" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 8px; color: #282828; font-size: 1.125rem; line-height: 1.75rem; font-family: MuseoSans, Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; outline: 0px !important;"><span style="font-size: 13px;"><strong><span style="line-height: 1.75rem; color: #000000;">Methods:</span></strong>&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 13px;">The online survey was available from June 2019 to July 2020. Questions related to demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, firefighting exposures, and cancer
    diagnoses. Descriptive analyses characterized variables by the presence or absence of cancer. Qualitative data provided insight into both firefighting and cancer experiences among women.Results:&nbsp;There were 1,344 female firefighter respondents
    from 12 different countries, 256 of whom provided information on their cancer diagnosis. North American respondents made up 92% of the total. Those with cancer were older, had been in the fire service longer, had more career fires and toxic exposures,
    and were less likely to still be in active service. They also reported more tobacco use, and more full-term pregnancies. There were no differences in family history of cancer between the two groups. The average age at diagnosis was 39.0 years. The
    major types of cancer reported included breast (25.4%), cervical (21.1%), melanoma (20.7%), base cell/skin (16.4%), and uterine (14.8%). The cancer was detected when seeking medical attention for symptoms (42.1%), during routine health screening (29.8%),
    and during specific cancer screening (28.1%). The stage of cancer was reported by 44.5%, and 30.9% included the histopathological grade. Treatments included surgery (72.7%), chemotherapy (14.8%), radiotherapy (13.7%), and observation (13.7%). Challenges
    associated with cancer included psychosocial (33.2%), financial (18.8%), physical (6.6%), and spiritual (6.3%). Concerns about reporting a cancer experience to their employer included the desire to keep health information private (11.3%), a feeling
    of vulnerability (7.4%), and being perceived as weak (7.0%). Lack of support from their employer or insurer was also noted.</span></p>

These findings can help
    inform resource allocation, the development of new policies, and the need for broader presumptive coverage to support female firefighters diagnosed with cancer.</span></p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<h4><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Helvetica;">Accessibility Plan</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #000000;">In December 2022, Accessibility Standards Canada published its first Accessibility Plan for 2023 to 2025.</span></span>
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">This plan will guide us as we continue addressing barriers in the priority areas under the&nbsp;<i>Accessible Canada Act</i>. This first iteration of our plan is one of the many ways we implement our vision, mission, and values.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">We are confident that the actions we have laid out in the plan will help us achieve our desired objectives by 2025.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">We invite you to&nbsp;<a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faccessible.canada.ca%2Faccessibility-standards-canada-accessibility-plan&amp;data=05%7C01%7CInfo.Accessibility.Standards-Normes.Accessibilite.Info%40hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca%7C6636bbc0a4b44cf181ca08db255db75d%7C9ed558468a814246acd8b1a01abfc0d1%7C0%7C0%7C638144858129908274%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=ylyxK0PW3tclJGqosSlAAmzdhx7YrQDRJaOf1OMWLEk%3D&amp;reserved=0">read our plan</a>!&nbsp;You can also submit feedback on the plan, or any issue related to accessibility on any of our platforms.</span></p>

<h4><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Helvetica;">Tabling of our 2023 to 2024 Departmental Plan</span></h4>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #000000;">As we continue to move forward, we are eager to share with you our&nbsp;<a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Faccessible.canada.ca%2Freports%2Faccessibility-standards-canada-2023-2024-departmental-plan&amp;data=05%7C01%7CInfo.Accessibility.Standards-Normes.Accessibilite.Info%40hrsdc-rhdcc.gc.ca%7C6636bbc0a4b44cf181ca08db255db75d%7C9ed558468a814246acd8b1a01abfc0d1%7C0%7C0%7C638144858130064494%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=%2FMG0vAmvEbRQJmw8Y8OcvxANSDGRuGGMahOc540Cc%2FA%3D&amp;reserved=0">2023 to 2024 Departmental Plan</a>. It lists all our priorities for the upcoming year.</span></span>
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">This past year was one of great progress on the delivery of our mandate and priorities. We firmly established our organization within the accessibility space.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">We launched our first public review of a model standard for the Built Environment – Accessibility. We signed 5 memoranda of understanding with 3 provinces. And finally, we hosted a successful Pan-Canadian Forum.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #000000;">The work we have planned for this year, through our 2023 to 2024 Departmental Plan, is ambitious. Still, we are confident and eager to continue working with Canadians toward a more inclusive and barrier-free Canada. We hope that you join us on our journey!</span></span>

<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;"><span style="color: #000000;">En décembre&nbsp;2022, Normes d’accessibilité Canada a publié son premier Plan d’accessibilité de 2023 à 2025. </span></span>
</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">Ce plan nous guidera dans la poursuite de la lutte contre les obstacles dans les domaines prioritaires en vertu de la <i>Loi canadienne sur l’accessibilité</i>. Cette première version de notre plan est l’une des nombreuses façons dont nous mettons en œuvre notre vision, notre mission et nos valeurs.</span></p>

<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">Nous avons lancé notre premier examen public d’une norme modèle pour l’environnement bâti – Accessibilité. Nous avons signé cinq protocoles d’entente avec trois provinces. Enfin, nous avons organisé un forum pancanadien réussi.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #000000; font-size: 13px; font-family: Helvetica;">&nbsp;</span></p>

<title>Canada’s National Adaptation Strategy / Stratégie nationale d’adaptation du Canada</title>

<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><strong><span style="font-size: 14px; color: #c00000;">Our Path to Climate-Ready Communities: The Government of Canada Adaptation Action Plan</span></strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><br /><span style="color: #000000;">The Government of Canada Adaptation Action Plan outlines how the federal government is contributing to implementing the National Adaptation Strategy. It provides a framework to organize federal adaptation actions going forward. The Government of Canada is making targeted choices to help meet the Strategy’s goals and objectives, while respecting the federal government’s role and authority for action.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br /><br />The federal action plan organizes targeted measures in the five areas that are laid out in the Strategy:<br /></span></span></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Disaster Resilience<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Health and Wellbeing<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Nature and Biodiversity<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Infrastructure<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Economy and Workers</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;"><br />The federal action plan will complement the adaptation work and strategies of provinces, territories and Indigenous partners. In addition to the federal plan, separate provincial and territorial action plans will advance efforts on shared priorities, and Indigenous climate leadership will support self-determined action. Taken together, these efforts will make Canada more climate resilient as the country continues to face the impacts of climate change, now and in the future.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Ready to read Canada's National Adaptation Strategy? <strong><a href="https://www.canada.ca/en/services/environment/weather/climatechange/climate-plan/national-adaptation-strategy.html">Read more here</a></strong>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">---------------------------------------------</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #c00000;"><strong>Notre voie vers des collectivités adaptées au climat : Le plan d’action sur l’adaptation du gouvernement du Canada</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;"><br />Le plan d’action sur l’adaptation du gouvernement du Canada décrit comment le gouvernement fédéral contribue à la mise en œuvre de la Stratégie nationale d'adaptation. Il fournit un cadre sur l’organisation des mesures fédérales en matière d’adaptation pour l’avenir. Le gouvernement du Canada fait des choix ciblés pour contribuer à l’atteinte des buts et des objectifs de la Stratégie, tout en respectant le rôle et le pouvoir d’agir du gouvernement fédéral.<br /><br />Le plan d’action fédéral prévoit des mesures ciblées dans les cinq domaines suivants énoncés dans la Stratégie :<br /></span></p><ul><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Résilience en cas de catastrophe<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Santé et bien-être<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Nature et biodiversité<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Infrastructure<br />Économie et travailleurs</span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Le plan d’action fédéral viendra compléter les travaux et les stratégies d’adaptation des provinces, des territoires et des partenaires autochtones. En plus du plan fédéral, des plans d’action provinciaux et territoriaux distincts feront progresser les efforts consacrés aux priorités communes, et le leadership autochtone en matière de climat soutiendra les mesures d’autodétermination. Ensemble, ces efforts rendront le Canada plus résilient aux changements climatiques, alors que le pays continuera à faire face aux effets des changements climatiques, aujourd'hui et dans l’avenir.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Prêt à lire la Stratégie nationale d'adaptation du Canada ?

<p><span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Earlier today, the Minister of
Health and the Minister of Mental Health and Addictions <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canada.ca%2Fen%2Fhealth-canada%2Fnews%2F2022%2F09%2Fgovernment-of-canada-launches-legislative-review-of-the-cannabis-act.html&amp;data=05%7C01%7Clinda.st-amour%40hc-sc.gc.ca%7C0111fd237395451dfa8008da9cae6c92%7C42fd9015de4d4223a368baeacab48927%7C0%7C0%7C637994570194374423%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=6p8HTZLn6xy%2FICIDrF2tNRks%2FgrRIr7u4Xu%2FGjUawkk%3D&amp;reserved=0">announced
the launch</a> of the legislative

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">The objective of the <i>Cannabis Act</i>
is to protect the health and safety of Canadians while serving as a flexible
legislative framework that adapts and responds to the ongoing and emerging
needs of Canadians. Section 151.1 of the <i>Cannabis Act</i> requires the
Minister of Health to conduct a review of the Act three years after coming into
force. The review will last 18 months and will conclude with a report tabled in
both Houses of Parliament.<u5:p></u5:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;"><u5:p>&nbsp;</u5:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">In order to
ensure a credible, inclusive, and evidence-driven process for the legislative
review, the Ministers have announced that an independent Expert Panel, chaired
by Mr. Morris Rosenberg, will lead the review. The final composition of the
Panel will be announced in the coming weeks, following the completion of the
appointment process and conflict of interest vetting. <u5:p></u5:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;"><u5:p>&nbsp;</u5:p></span></p>

expert advice to both Ministers on progress made towards achieving the Act’s
objectives, and their findings will help to identify priority areas to improve
the functioning of the Act.</span> It <span lang="EN-US">will use a range of tools to engage the public and stakeholders to
inform their independent assessment of the <i>Cannabis Act</i>, including an
online engagement process, in-person engagement sessions, and ongoing dialogue
with key stakeholders and experts in relevant fields.</span>

la Santé et la ministre de la Santé mentale et des Dépendances ont <a href="https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.canada.ca%2Ffr%2Fsante-canada%2Fnouvelles%2F2022%2F09%2Fle-gouvernement-du-canada-lance-lexamen-legislatif-de-la-loi-sur-le-cannabis.html&amp;data=05%7C01%7Clinda.st-amour%40hc-sc.gc.ca%7C0111fd237395451dfa8008da9cae6c92%7C42fd9015de4d4223a368baeacab48927%7C0%7C0%7C637994570194374423%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=TVFpnOQxo%2FNlw8%2BUrEWstEuBJkbp4xkplZ3c6dUz%2FWk%3D&amp;reserved=0">lancé
un examen législatif</a> de la <i>Loi sur le Cannabis</i>. <u5:p></u5:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">L’objectif de la <i>Loi sur le
cannabis</i> est de protéger la santé et la sécurité des Canadiens et
Canadiennes, tout en servant de cadre législatif souple qui s’adapte à leurs
besoins actuels et émergents et y répond. L’article&nbsp;151.1 de la <i>Loi sur
le cannabis</i> oblige le ministre de la Santé à procéder à un examen de la Loi
trois ans après son entrée en vigueur. L’examen durera 18&nbsp;mois et se
conclura par un rapport déposé devant les deux chambres du Parlement.<u5:p></u5:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Afin d’assurer un processus
crédible, inclusif et fondé sur des données probantes pour l’examen législatif,
les ministres ont annoncé qu’un comité d’experts indépendant, présidé par
M.&nbsp;Morris&nbsp;Rosenberg, dirigera l’examen. La composition finale du
comité sera annoncée dans les semaines à venir, après l'achèvement de la
procédure de nomination et de la vérification des conflits d'intérêts. <u5:p></u5:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:normal;"><span lang="FR-CA" style="font-size: 12px; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Le comité fournira aux deux
ministres des conseils d'experts indépendants sur les progrès accomplis pour
réaliser les objectifs de la Loi, et ses conclusions aideront à discerner les
domaines prioritaires pour améliorer le fonctionnement de la Loi. Il utilisera
une gamme d’outils pour inciter le public et les intervenants à éclairer leur
évaluation indépendante de la <i>Loi sur le cannabis</i>, y compris un
processus de mobilisation en ligne, des séances de mobilisation en personne et
un dialogue continu avec les principaux intervenants et experts dans les
domaines pertinents.<u5:p></u5:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; text-size-adjust: auto;">&nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; text-size-adjust: auto;">&nbsp;</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-family: Helvetica;">Ce n’est un secret pour personne que les chefs des pompiers du pays soutiennent depuis de nombreuses années l’installation de gicleurs résidentiels dans les nouvelles constructions. Les territoires de compétence où cela est la norme ont limité les décès dans ces bâtiments.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Ainsi, à notre avis, il ne fait aucun doute que la présence de gicleurs résidentiels sauve des vies et que si c’était gratuit, ce serait déjà fait. Il ne fait également aucun doute qu’il y a un coût et un calcul de risque sur l’abordabilité et le caractère souhaitable des gicleurs pour les acheteurs de maisons, les constructeurs, l’industrie, les planificateurs et autres intervenants. Depuis de nombreuses années, nous sommes assis à des tables où les chefs de pompiers réclament des gicleurs et où d’autres répondent que la probabilité d’un besoin ne justifie pas le coût.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Cela peut être vrai ou non, mais notre objectif dans le présent rapport est de modifier la perspective du tout au tout. Le rapport repose sur l’hypothèse que si les coûts, les préjugés et les malentendus pouvaient être résolus, nous nous nous rapprocherions d’une société dans laquelle toutes les nouvelles constructions résidentielles seraient munies de gicleurs en éliminant les décès liés aux incendies dans les nouvelles constructions résidentielles.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; caret-color: #000000; color: #000000; text-size-adjust: auto;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">De nombreuses personnes ont contribué à ce rapport. Nous avons reçu d’excellentes réponses aux sondages et aux demandes d’entrevues à l’interne de l’ACCP, du secteur de la lutte contre les incendies et d’autres parties prenantes. Le Comité des codes du bâtiment de l’ACCP a dirigé le projet et les coprésidents Sean Tracey, adjoint chef retr. et le RT. Lt.

<description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000;">Cancer is a firefighter issue. It affects all types of firefighters in all parts of the country. While there are many important resources available, these resources don’t always reach all parts of the firefighting community.</span></span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000;"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000;">At the CAFC, a new&nbsp;<a href="https://cafc.ca/page/CAFC-Committees2022" style="color: #cc0033; font-size: small;"><span style="color: #f79646;"><strong>Cancer Committee</strong></span></a>&nbsp;was started in 2022 to help further address this issue for all firefighters and department types. It is very interested in Bill C-224 proposed by MP Sherry Romanado,&nbsp;<em><a href="https://cafc.ca/resource/resmgr/cancer-prevention/C-224_1.pdf">An Act To Establish A National Framework for the Prevention and Treatment of Cancers Linked to Firefighting</a>.&nbsp;</em>CAFC will do its part to help advance this bill.&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000;">&nbsp;</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #000000;">More details here:&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://cafc.ca/page/preventing-cancer">https://cafc.ca/page/preventing-cancer</a></strong></span></span></p><p><strong><span style="color: #f79646;"></span></strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000;"><strong><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">____</span></strong></span></p><p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p style="text-align: center;">&nbsp;</p><p><span style="color: #f79646;"></span></p><p><span style="color: #000000;"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">Le cancer est un problème qui affecte les pompiers de n’importe quelle catégorie dans toutes les régions du pays.

Il est très intéressé par le projet de loi C-224 proposé par la députée Sherry Romanado,&nbsp;</span><em style="color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: small;"><a href="https://cafc.ca/resource/resmgr/cancer-prevention/C-224_1.pdf">Loi établissant un cadre national pour la prévention et le traitement des cancers liés à la lutte contre les incendies</a></em><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Helvetica; color: #000000;">.
