Mr. Pierce:

Thank you for your correspondence dated March 5, inviting the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) to contribute its views and expertise in the review of "Environmental claims - a guide for industry and advertisers".

The proposed new publication seems timely, and should no doubt be of interest to environment departments across Canada. Members of CCME's Extended Producer Responsibility Task Group would be well-positioned to provide input, and we will inform them of this opportunity to contribute to the new guide.

In closing, I should note that your correspondence was addressed to an individual (Mr. Byron James) who is no longer affiliated with CCME. In future, any similar correspondence could more reliably be sent to the Executive Director, CCME Secretariat.

 

Thank you.

Best regards,

Carl Hrenchuk

Executive Director.
