SPECIES AT RISK ACT

Description of critical habitat of the Cucumber Tree in Long Point National Wildlife Area

The Cucumber Tree (Magnolia acuminata L.) is a species listed on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act as endangered. In Canada, the Cucumber Tree has a very limited distribution, with populations occurring in only two areas of southern Ontario. Critical habitat in the Long Point National Wildlife Area is identified in the Recovery Strategy for the Cucumber Tree as "the upland moist deciduous or mixed forest, often in a headwaters area with undulating topography of low swampy areas interspersed with rises. The established trees occur in the better drained areas within this matrix and regeneration is seen where the forest cover is partially open."

Notice is hereby given that pursuant to subsection 58(2) of the Species at Risk Act, critical habitat of the Cucumber Tree (Magnolia acuminata L.) in the Long Point National Wildlife Area is described as follows:

Being that all parcel of land, in the regional municipality of Haldimand-Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, the city of Norfolk, situated in Block 6 patented by Instrument No. 390158, in the Land Registry Office for the Land Registry Division of Norfolk (No. 37) at Simcoe, dated April 11, 1979, and lying within the following described boundaries save and except any land covered by water:

SPECIES AT RISK ACT

Description of critical habitat of the Piping Plover in Last Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary

The Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus circumcinctus) is a species of migratory bird listed on Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act as endangered. In Canada, the Piping Plover has a small population with a wide distribution and faces continued threats. The addendum to the final recovery strategy for the Piping Plover has identified Piping Plover critical habitat to exist in 65 quarter sections in 20 basins at this time. Within these quarter sections, critical habitat is defined as "the area of the shore between the ordinary high-water mark and the water's edge, as Piping Plovers are terrestrial shorebirds that use the shore area between the water's edge and terrestrial vegetation."

Last Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary is a migratory bird sanctuary under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994.

Notice is hereby given pursuant to subsection 58(2) of the Species at Risk Act, critical habitat of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus circumcinctus) in Last Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary is described as follows:

The area of the shore between the ordinary high-water mark and the water's edge within the northwest quarter of Section 14, Township 27, Range 24, West of the 2nd Meridian.

FOOD AND DRUGS ACT

Food and Drug Regulations — Amendments

Interim Marketing Authorization

Provisions currently exist in the Food and Drug Regulations for the use of the transglutaminase enzyme derived from Streptoverticillium mobaraense strain S-8112 to enhance the texture of a variety of foods, including unstandardized prepared fish products, simulated meat products, unstandardized cheese, processed cheese and cream cheese products, yogurt and unstandardized frozen dairy desserts at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice.

Health Canada has received a submission to permit the use of the transglutaminase derived from Streptoverticillium mobaraense strain S-8112 to improve the textural characteristics of a variety of standardized meat and poultry products. Evaluation of available data supports the safety and effectiveness of using transglutaminase in these products at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice.

The use of transglutaminase will benefit consumers by increasing the availability of a greater variety of quality meat and poultry products. It will also benefit industry by facilitating the manufacture of these food products.

Therefore, it is the intention of Health Canada to recommend that the Food and Drug Regulations be amended to permit the use of transglutaminase in prepared meat, prepared meat by-product, prepared poultry meat, prepared poultry meat by-product, solid cut meat with or without added phosphate salts, solid cut poultry meat with or without added phosphate salts, pumping pickle and cover pickle, preserved meat, preserved meat by-products, sausage, preserved poultry meat, preserved poultry meat by-product, meat loaf and meat by-product loaf at levels consistent with good manufacturing practice.

As a means to improve the responsiveness of the regulatory system, an Interim Marketing Authorization (IMA) is being issued to permit the immediate use of transglutaminase in the products listed above, while the regulatory process is undertaken to formally amend the Regulations.

The proposed regulatory amendments would be enabling measures to allow the sale of additional foods containing transglutaminase as an agent to improve the textural characteristics of the food. The amendments are supported by the safety assessment and would have low impact on the economy and the environment. Consequently, the regulatory amendments may proceed directly to final approval and publication in the Canada Gazette, Part II.

Interested persons may make representations with respect to Health Canada's intention to amend the Regulations within 75 days after the date of publication of this notice. All such representations must cite the Canada Gazette, Part I, and the date of publication of this notice, and be addressed to the contact person identified below.
