Consultation for Transportation of Dangerous Goods Client Identification Database

Transport Canada (TC) invites you to participate in stakeholder consultations regarding a new Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Client Identification Database (CID). Public safety depends on Transport Canada knowing who is transporting dangerous goods in Canada, as well as knowing where, when and how these goods are being transported. Transport Canada is proposing to introduce a new requirement for businesses involved in the importing, offering for transport, handling and transport of dangerous goods to identify themselves and provide basic information on their dangerous goods activities.

To ensure that the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Client Identification Database is implemented in the most efficient and effective way possible, Transport Canada seeks your input in the early policy-development stage. Your feedback will be taken into consideration to inform amendments to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992 and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations necessary to implement TDG CID. The proposed amendments will then be posted in the Canada Gazette, Part I, for a 30-day comment period.
