EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Interim Order)
It is imperative that for the safety and security of the public and of world leaders, dignitaries and participants at the G20 meetings that the transportation of certain dangerous goods be controlled into, through and within a zone that encompasses the meeting venues in and around downtown Toronto.
The interim order responds to requirements agreed to by the RCMP and is built on the work of the G8/G20 Security Surface Technical Working Group in consultation with industry and input from Transport Canada.
It is important to note that the time provided in section 4 of the interim order is the time of day when certain dangerous goods may be transported into, through and within the controlled access zone. It is also important to remember that, in accordance with subsection 2(2) of the interim order, the roads that form the boundaries of Zone 1 are not part of the controlled access zone.
All other aspects of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992, and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations continue to apply within and outside the controlled access zone. Dangerous goods inspectors will be enforcing the Interim Order as well as all other requirements established under that Act and those Regulations during the G20.
The interim order will not be made into a permanent regulation and will expire on June 28, 2010 at 06:00 a.m.
