Summary of key changes made to A Guide to Canada's Export Control List

Amendment of the Export Control List (January 2023)

Please note that this is a high-level summary of some of the more significant changes made in the January 2023 edition of A Guide to Canada's Export Control List (the Guide). Various other minor changes to the control texts were agreed upon during the relevant export control and non-proliferation regime meetings in 2022, though the majority of these clarifications did not affect the scope of the existing controls.
