This notice is for informational purposes only. There is no requirement to consult on this initiative on the Environmental Registry of Ontario. Learn more about the types of notices on the registry.
Why consultation isn't required
This notice is to advise that the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority's (RPRA) 2019 annual report has been posted on its website.
Public consultation is not required under the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993 (EBR) because we are not making a decision and RPRA, a non-Crown and not for profit corporation, is not prescribed under the EBR.
Section 6.1 (h) of the Transitional Operating Agreement between the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and RPRA requires the Minister to post RPRA's annual report on the environmental registry for public information.
Bulletin details
The Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA) released its 2019 annual report, providing a summary of its:
- oversight activities
- audited financial statements
RPRA is a non-Crown and not-for-profit corporation established under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016 (RRCEA).
Under the RRCEA, RPRA provides oversight and is responsible for:
- developing and operating a registry for producers responsible for materials under the RRCEA
- undertaking compliance actions to enforce the requirements set out in the RRCEA and associated regulations
RPRA is also responsible for oversight, compliance and enforcement of existing waste diversion programs and their transition to producer responsibility pursuant to Section 14 of the Waste Diversion Transition Act, 2016 (WDTA).
In 2019, RPRA’s statutory mandate was changed to include operating digital reporting services for a wider range of waste and resource recovery programs, starting with the Hazardous Waste Program for industrial hazardous waste.
The RRCEA includes governance, accountability and transparency measures to help ensure that RPRA operates effectively and assists government oversight.
A key accountability measure is the requirement that RPRA develop an annual report detailing its activities under the RRCEA and the WDTA from the previous fiscal year and provide its audited financial statements.
RPRA is required to:
- develop its annual report in accordance with section 44 of the RRCEA, section 6 of the WDTA and the Transitional Operating Agreement between the Minister and RPRA
- provide a copy of the annual report to the Minister and to make the report available to the public on RPRA's website by June 1st of each year
