Comment on a Document

Consultation with the public, licensees and interested organizations is an important part of the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission’s (CNSC) process to develop many of the regulatory tools within its regulatory framework. The CNSC welcomes public input on draft documents that are open for consultation.

Each document is made available for public comment for a specified period of time. At the end of the consultation period, CNSC staff review all public input. Public comments are then posted for feedback on the CNSC Web site. Please note that comments submitted, including names and affiliations, are intended to be made public, in the official language in which they were received.

A consultation report is then prepared to summarize the feedback.
