ANNEX
Summary of the screening assessment of Bacillus thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367
Pursuant to paragraph 74(b) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of Bacillus thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 (B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367).
B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 is a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium. As a species, B. thuringiensis is generally considered ubiquitous and is commonly found in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. B. thuringiensis is able to form spores that can withstand harsh environmental conditions and survive under conditions of nutrient depletion. Various characteristics of B. thuringiensis make it suitable for use as an active ingredient in commercial and consumer products, including degreasers, detergents, and additives in bioremediation and biodegradation, and in various industrial processes.
B. thuringiensis is known particularly for the production of crystal proteins (Cry toxins), which are toxic to various orders of insects (mainly lepidopterans, dipterans and coleopterans). In particular, B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 is known to produce a Cry 1B (Cry1Ba) toxin, which is known to be selectively toxic to insect species of the Order Lepidoptera and to a few species of the orders Diptera and Coleoptera. Despite the ubiquity and abundant use of various B. thuringiensis subspecies, there are no known adverse population-level effects on target species in the ecosystems where it is used, and no adverse effects on non-target terrestrial or aquatic plants, vertebrates or invertebrates.
B. thuringiensis is not considered a human pathogen; to date, no mammalian pathogenicity and toxicity study has demonstrated that commercial spore preparations of any B. thuringiensis subspecies cause adverse effects by any route of exposure. B. thuringiensis has been isolated from a few gastrointestinal, ocular and wound infections. Some B. thuringiensis strains, including ATCC 13367, have been reported to produce enterotoxins and membrane-damaging toxins. These toxins are known as important factors for pathogenicity of a close relative, Bacillus cereus, in humans. However, the significance of the presence of these virulence factors in B. thuringiensis in relation to human infections is not clear. The scientific literature reports very few cases of infection linked to B. thuringiensis. B. thuringiensis is resistant to several clinical antibiotics, but effective treatments against infection are available.
This assessment considers the aforementioned characteristics of B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 with respect to environmental and human health effects associated with consumer and commercial product use and industrial processes subject to CEPA, including releases to the environment through waste streams and incidental human exposure through environmental media. To update information about current uses, the Government launched a mandatory information-gathering survey under section 71 of CEPA, as published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on October 3, 2009 (section 71 notice).
Based on the information available, it is concluded that B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends. It is also concluded that B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.
Conclusion
It is concluded that Bacillus thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 does not meet any of the criteria set out under section 64 of CEPA.
The screening assessment for this living organism is available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.

ANNEX
Summary of the draft screening assessment of cyclohexane, 5-isocyanato-1-(isocyanatomethyl)-1,3,3-trimethyl-
Pursuant to section 68 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of cyclohexane, 5-isocyanato-1-(isocyanatomethyl)-1,3,3-trimethyl-, hereinafter referred to as isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI). The Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS RN) for IPDI is 4098-71-9. This substance is among those substances identified as priorities for assessment on the basis of other human health concerns.
IPDI does not occur naturally in the environment. It is used primarily as a monomer to make various polymers, such as polyurethanes. According to information submitted in response to a survey under section 71 of CEPA, there was no manufacture of IPDI in Canada in 2011. A total of 111 104 kg of IPDI was imported into Canada in 2011. IPDI has been reported to be found in paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, and floor coverings.
The ecological risk of IPDI was characterized using the ecological risk classification (ERC) of organic substances. The ERC is a risk-based approach that employs multiple metrics for both hazard and exposure, with weighted consideration of multiple lines of evidence for determining risk classification. Hazard profiles are based principally on metrics regarding mode of toxic action, chemical reactivity, food web–derived internal toxicity thresholds, bioavailability, and chemical and biological activity. Metrics considered in the exposure profiles include potential emission rate, overall persistence, and long-range transport potential. A risk matrix is used to assign a low, moderate or high level of potential concern for substances on the basis of their hazard and exposure profiles. The ERC identified IPDI as having a low potential to cause ecological harm.
Considering all available lines of evidence presented in this draft screening assessment, there is a low risk of harm to the environment from IPDI. It is proposed to conclude that IPDI does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(a) or (b) of CEPA, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that have or may have an immediate or long-term harmful effect on the environment or its biological diversity or that constitute or may constitute a danger to the environment on which life depends.
The general population is not expected to be exposed to IPDI via environmental media, food or drinking water. IPDI may be used in a small number of automotive paint hardeners available to consumers. Air concentrations of IPDI from the do-it-yourself use of these products were modelled and compared with the critical health effect levels for IPDI. Changes in the nasal cavity and larynx indicative of airway irritation were identified as the critical health effect for IPDI. The resultant margins of exposure are considered adequate to address uncertainties in the health effects and exposure databases.
On the basis of the information presented in this draft screening assessment, it is proposed to conclude that IPDI does not meet the criteria under paragraph 64(c) of CEPA, as it is not entering the environment in a quantity or concentration or under conditions that constitute or may constitute a danger in Canada to human life or health.
Proposed conclusion
It is proposed to conclude that IPDI does not meet any of the criteria set out in section 64 of CEPA.
The draft screening assessment for this substance is available on the Canada.ca (Chemical Substances) website.

Appointment opportunities
We know that our country is stronger — and our government more effective — when decision-makers reflect Canada's diversity. The Government of Canada has implemented an appointment process that is transparent and merit-based, strives for gender parity, and ensures that Indigenous peoples and minority groups are properly represented in positions of leadership. We will continue to search for Canadians who reflect the values that we all embrace: inclusion, honesty, fiscal prudence, and generosity of spirit. Together, we will build a government as diverse as Canada.
The Government of Canada is currently seeking applications from diverse and talented Canadians from across the country who are interested in the following positions.
