DkuJeM<rf$^\£%W&§/& Li sur I'acces a I'information J y ^ //_j / OTTAWA, j ILE ' DIVISIONAL IVIS DIARY May 5, 1964 Dear Mr* Sellers: We spoke on the telephone not long ago about your request to Mr. Menzlea for additional Information concerning the regulatory powers available to tbe Canadian Government to control entry to Canada, and movement within Canadian territory or territorial waters, of nuclear materials and equipment. As I explained, there are really three different forma of authority under which the Government may control such activities* 2 A wide range of activities involving nuclear energy m one way or another requires authorisation by tbe Atomic Energy Control Board in accordance with the provisions of the Atomic Energy Control Act and the Atomic Energy Control Regulations (copies attached). 15 In a second category, movement of materials or equipment relating to nuclear energy into or out of Canadian territory is governed by various provisions of the Export and Import permits Act and of Regulations issued under the authority of that Act. Copies of these documents are also attached. Finally, there la an inter-departmental body known as the Suclear Vessels control Co-ordinating Committee, chaired at present by Hr. Cumyn of the Department L. 0. Sellers, Esq*, Acting High Commissioner for Australia, 90 Sparks Street, OTTAWA* . * . / 2 •P 000674 �Document disclosed under the Access to Information Act Document divulgue en vertu de la Loi sur I'acces a I'information * • - 2- of Transport. As I understand It, the function of this Committee is to advise the Minister of Transport concerning the movement of nuclear-powered or nucleararmed vessels into or within Canadian territory. While I am afraid I do not have copies of the relevant legislation available, and indeed am not familiar with it in detail, I would assume that legislation exists under which the Minister of Transport, acting either in bis own name or through such governmental agencies as tbe National Harbours Board, may regulate the movement of ships or aircraft Into and within Canadian territory. X would assume also that in exercising this authority with regard to nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed vessels the Minister would normally act on the advice of the Committee I have mentioned. I hope that this provides the Information that you wish to have. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. Yours sincerely, TJ. H. W . f'SK '""•' D. H. W.
