(i) A Guide to Canada’s Export Controls – December 2013: The definition of the term “guide” in section 1 of the ECL is replaced by A Guide to Canada’s Export Controls – December 2013 so that it refers to the latest version of the document.
The December 2013 edition of the Guide to Canada’s Export Controls incorporates Canada’s obligations and commitments with respect to the four multilateral export control regimes of which Canada is a member. Some of the changes resulting from the Order include the addition of controls over specific accelerometer-based hydro-acoustic sensors, specific intrusion software, specific net¬work surveillance equipment, specific external thermal shields for use in nuclear reactors, specific forms of rhenium and rhenium alloys, specific high explosive containment vessels as well as the removal of controls on certain magnetic tape recorders. Clarifica¬tions have also been made to controls relating to microwave mono¬lithic integrated circuits, energetic materials, streak and framing cameras, rocket propulsion systems, gravity meters, fermenters and flow-filtration equipment.
(ii) Various references to international commitments
References to export control texts issued by various multilateral export control regimes to which Canada is a member, including the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies (Dual-Use and Muni¬tions Lists), the Nuclear Suppliers Group (Non-Proliferation and Nuclear-related Dual-Use Lists), the Missile Technology Control Regime (Missile Technology Control Regime List) and the Aus¬tralia Group (Chemical and Biological Weapons Non-Proliferation List), have been updated to incorporate these commitments into Canada’s export control regime.
(iii) Required minor editorial modifications identified by the Standing Joint Committee for the Scrutiny of Regulations
