The Government invited input to Regulations on Products that contain mercury, see 2011-03-01 Most mercury-filled products to be banned in Canada. Mercury is still safe in the human mouth but no where else. The Government invites your input.
The Government has now issued its response to the input from the public.
I used “find” to go through their document for references to mercury in DENTAL amalgams and in VACCINATIONS. The results are at: Mercury-Hlth-Canada-Rept-Nov-2011 .
Environment Canada working with Health Canada is going to EXEMPT AMALGAMS FROM THE REGULATIONS on products that contain mercury.

EMAIL THREAD:
RECEIVED NOV 18, 2011 FROM ENVIRONMENT CANADA:
This e-mail is to inform you that the Response to Comments document for the proposed regulations of mercury-containing products has been published. Thank you for your participation in the regulatory development process.
The next step will be to publish the final Regulations in the Canada Gazette, Part II, which is targeted for summer 2012. The Regulations would enter into force one year after their publication.

Dear Megan,
RE: If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I see from your document that Environment Canada received input from:
- The Canadian Council of Oral Medicine and Toxicology and
- The International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology
Would you kindly tell me their recommendation regarding dental amalgams? Preferably, I would like a copy of each of their submissions.
I wish to ensure that the information I have posted on-line is accurate.
(Scroll down to [BOLD] text [“APPENDED”].)
Many thanks.
Sandra Finley
P.S. From your Response document I excerpted references to mercury in
- dental amalgams and
- in vaccinations
I made them available on-line, through Heavy metals in vaccinations, Mercury in dental amalgams,

Re: INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF ORAL MEDICINE AND TOXICOLOGY
http://sandrafinley.ca/?p=1110 EXCERPT:
The central question addressed in the appended information:
DID THE EUROPEAN COUNTRIES THAT BANNED DENTAL AMALGAMS MADE WITH MERCURY, BOW TO UNINFORMED PUBLIC PRESSURE OR TO SOUND SCIENCE?
It is claimed that mercury in dental amalgams is one of those internet hoaxes. It is far from that. A number of European countries have outlawed dental amalgams. Also, the information in this email comes from organizations such as the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology, the American Academy of Head, Neck and Facial Pain, numerous doctors, dentists and scientists,

(Sent Nov 22): Thanks Megan. I’ll ask the originators (for a copy of the IAOMT submission to Environment Canada) (Which is how the Citizens’ Assembly to figure out HOW we are going to stop dental amalgams, March 30-31, 2012 in Saskatoon, came about.)

MY SUBMISSION TO ENVIRONMENT CANADA REGARDING MERCURY (AMALGAMS AND VACCINATIONS) – – from 2011-03-01 (item #4)
Dear Members of the Public Service and Elected Ministers,
RE: Legislation to ban mercury-filled products EXCEPT FOR dental amalgams and vaccinations that contain mercury (like the flu and tetanus shots).
Please see INDEX to heavy metals, foreign proteins and DNA in vaccinations PLUS mercury in dental amalgams.
This information has been assembled by a number of people. It is shared through email networks.
The evidence is compelling: please add dental amalgams and vaccinations that contain mercury to the ban on mercury-filled products.
If you decide against this course of action in the face of the evidence, I will appreciate receipt of an explanation: why?
Thank-you.
