Notice of Intent — Measures under consideration to modernize tobacco and vaping products information reporting requirements

Health Canada published in the Canada Gazette, Part 1, a Notice of Intent – Measures Under Consideration to Modernize Tobacco and Vaping Product Information Reporting Requirements (Notice of Intent).

Health Canada sought comments from interested parties on measures under consideration that would:

• Consolidate the Tobacco Reporting Regulations and the Vaping Products Reporting Regulations into a single set of regulations
• Modernize and streamline the existing reporting requirements for tobacco products
• Add new information reporting requirements for manufacturers of tobacco and vaping products

A Technical Document (mentioned in the Notice of Intent) describing the measures under consideration was made available by Health Canada.

The goal of the consultation was to gather comments that would inform the development of future reporting regulations. This would help Health Canada better support the objectives of the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act and tobacco control activities taken to advance Canada's Tobacco Strategy.

Who was the focus of this consultation

Health Canada engaged with Canadians, including:

• academics and researchers
• non-governmental organizations
• provincial and territorial governments
• tobacco and vaping products manufacturers and importers and their associations
• tobacco control experts - domestic and international
• tobacco testing laboratories
