RCC Nanotechnology Webinar

On February 4, 2011, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Barack Obama announced the creation of the Canada-United States Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) to better align the two countries' regulatory approaches in a number of areas, including nanotechnology. Following stakeholder consultations in Washington, D.C. on January 30-31, 2012, Canada and the US have recently finalised the Work Plan for the Nanotechnology RCC initiative. The purpose of the Nanotechnology RCC initiative is to increase, where possible, regulatory transparency and coordination between the two countries with respect to nanomaterials. In order to promote stakeholder involvement, stakeholders are invited to a webinar to provide additional background along with updates on ongoing activities under the RCC Nanotechnology Work Plan.
