actions to achieve them. The strategy for 2016 to 2019, the third in Canada to
date, outlines the steps the government will take in collaboration with its
partners in Canada and abroad.
The
Government of Canada is also taking action to help reduce overall levels of air
pollution. Air pollutant emissions are subject to a number of regulations
developed and implemented under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act,

part of the federal government's contribution to the implementation of the air
quality management system, the Government of Canada adopted the Multisectoral
Air Pollutants Regulations, which set the first ever standards for air
pollutants. Mandatory Air Pollutant Emissions Requirements for Large Industrial
Facilities. The Government of Canada has continued to work with provinces,
territories and other stakeholders to strengthen Canadian ambient air quality
standards to improve air quality from one end to the other. other of the
country. Stricter standards were set for P2.5 and O3 in 2013, and new standards
for sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) were approved and announced
in October 2016 and December 2017 by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the
Environment. Air quality regulations and standards will help reduce air
pollutant emissions and support the health of Canadian communities.
