On December 23, 2004, the
Regulation respecting halocarbons came into force and replaced the
Regulation respecting ozone-depleting substances which had been adopted in
1993. This reform resulting from international amendments made to the
Montreal Protocol was required because of the appearance of new substances
replacing ozone-depleting substances.
The objective of this Regulation is to reduce the emission
of halocarbons into the atmosphere to protect the ozone layer and minimize
increases in greenhouse gases linked to emissions of an anthropic origin
caused by specific halocarbons.
