CONTROLLED DRUGS AND SUBSTANCES ACT

Notice to interested parties — Proposal regarding the scheduling of U-47700 under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and its Regulations

This notice provides interested stakeholders with the opportunity to provide comments on Health Canada's proposal to add U-47700 (3,4-dichloro-N-(2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl)-N-methylbenzamide) and its salts, isomers, derivatives and analogues, and salts of isomers, derivatives and analogues to Schedule I to the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) and to Part I of the Schedule to Part J of the Food and Drug Regulations (FDR).

In March 2017, the United Nations (UN) Commission on Narcotic Drugs voted in favour of controlling U-47700 under Schedule I of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, 1961 (1961 Convention). As a signatory to the 1961 Convention, Canada has an obligation to adopt controls over this substance. The CDSA is the legislation through which the Government of Canada fulfills its international obligations under the UN drug control conventions.

U-47700, a synthetic opioid, was initially conceived as a potential pharmaceutical ingredient in the late 1970s. However, it was never developed for use as a medicinal drug in Canada or internationally. There is no known evidence demonstrating that U-47700 has any legitimate use apart from scientific research.

U-47700 appears to be used by illicit drug manufacturers in counterfeit prescription medications and other illicit drug mixtures (e.g. cocaine, heroin). U-47700 has been detected in at least 254 law enforcement drug seizure exhibits identified by Health Canada in 2016 alone.

Although no animal or human abuse liability studies on U-47700 are available, Internet user reports describe the effects of U-47700 use as similar to those of opioids, which are known to be misused recreationally. Over 130 Internet user reports and over 40 reports of fatal and non-fatal overdoses demonstrate that U-47700 is being used recreationally in Canada and internationally. From April to June 2016, three non-fatal overdoses reported to be associated with U-47700 occurred in Canada.

Health Canada also examined substances structurally related to U-47700 in relation to this regulatory proposal. Several substances with similar pharmacology to U-47700 and with no known legitimate uses are also being considered for control along with U-47700.

It is proposed that the new entry in Schedule I to the CDSA and Part I of the Schedule to Part J of the FDR would include the following:

U-47700 (3,4-dichloro-N-(2-(dimethylamino)cyclohexyl)-N-methylbenzamide) and its salts, isomers, derivatives and analogues and salts of isomers, derivatives and analogues, including

These proposed amendments would prohibit, among other activities, the possession, trafficking, possession for the purpose of trafficking, importation, exportation, possession for the purpose of exportation, and production of the above-mentioned substances. Research or scientific use of these substances could be authorized under Part J of the FDR.

Some substances used to synthesize U-47700 were also considered. One substance used to synthesize U-47700, specifically N1,N1,N2-trimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine and its salts, is currently being considered for control under the Precursor Control Regulations (PCR). The PCR set out a licensing and permitting framework authorizing regulated parties to conduct activities with Class A or Class B precursors under certain circumstances.

Health Canada is seeking information from stakeholders on whether there are any legitimate uses for any of the structurally related substances to U-47700 or the substance N1,N1,N2-trimethylcyclohexane-1,2-diamine and its salts in Canada. Information received in response to this notice will be used in determining their appropriate regulation under the CDSA.

The publication of this notice in the Canada Gazette, Part I, initiates a 30-day comment period. If you are interested in this process or have comments on this notice, please contact the Office of Legislative and Regulatory Affairs, Controlled Substances Directorate, Healthy Environments and Consumer Safety Branch, Health Canada, by mail at Address Locator: 0301A, 150 Tunney's Pasture Driveway, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0K9, or by email at ocs_regulatorypolicy-bsc_politiquereglementaire@hc-sc.gc.ca.

Consultations on the renegotiation and modernization of the North American Free Trade Agreement

The Government of Canada is seeking the views of Canadians on the scope of the renegotiation and modernization of the existing North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) with the United States and Mexico.

The Government of Canada is committed to strengthening and deepening relationships with its North American partners. As the Government prepares for these discussions, the Government is seeking views on key areas in NAFTA that could be clarified or updated, and on any new areas that should form part of a modernized agreement. Furthermore, given that NAFTA has been in force for over 20 years, the Government is seeking information on the areas that have been the most beneficial to Canadian exporters. Views should also take into account reactions to potential proposals from the United States or Mexico where Canada could be pressed to take on commitments to address perceived trade irritants.

This notice is part of the Government of Canada's ongoing domestic consultation process with stakeholders, including provinces and territories, businesses, civil society organizations, labour unions, academia, Canada's Indigenous peoples, and individual Canadians.

Background

For more than a year, the Government of Canada has been engaged in discussions with Canadian citizens and stakeholder groups across the country about the Government's approach to trade. The Government recognizes that trade policies need to be designed to respond and contribute meaningfully to the Government's overall economic, social, and environmental policy priorities. In this way, the Government is working towards a progressive trade agenda that seeks to respond directly to concerns expressed by citizens and organizations in Canada and abroad with respect to trade and globalization. In that light, the Government will proceed in a manner that supports jobs and growth for Canadians — and prosperity in North America as a whole.

NAFTA has served as a strong anchor for Canadian markets in North America and has helped to expand trade opportunities for Canadian products, goods and services. NAFTA created the largest free trade region in the world when it came into effect on January 1, 1994, generating economic growth and helping to raise the standard of living for the people of the three member countries.

A total of 2.4 million Canadian jobs depend on trade with the United States, and more than $2 billion worth of goods and services cross the border every day. Canada and Mexico are each other's third largest trading partner, with steadily growing two-way merchandise trade.

Given that the Agreement is over 23 years old, there are many clarifications and technical improvements that could be made in all trade areas covered by NAFTA, such as labour, the environment or culture. The Agreement would also benefit from the inclusion of new trade areas, such as electronic commerce, that are not currently covered, to ensure the Agreement is aligned with today's economic realities. Canada is committed to upholding and supporting a vibrant and globally competitive North American manufacturing sector that provides stable, rewarding, and well-paying jobs for Canadians.

Additional information on the public consultations on the renegotiation and modernization of NAFTA can be found at the following addresses:

Submissions by interested parties

The Government of Canada is inviting all interested persons to provide information and views on the update and modernization of NAFTA. The purpose of these consultations is to identify key interests and concerns of Canadians with respect to NAFTA. More specifically, Canada is seeking views on the following areas included in NAFTA:
