Compendium of Canada's engagement in international environmental agreements and instruments. Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States on Air Quality (AQA). : En4-381/3-1-2018E-PDF

"Cross-border air pollution from the U.S. impacts Canadian air quality. Prevailing winds can carry air pollutants from the U.S. to Canada and these pollutants contribute significantly to the formation of acid rain and smog in certain regions of Canada. In 1991, Canada and the U.S. committed to reduce the impact of transboundary air pollution though the Canada-U.S. Air Quality Agreement. The Agreement was originally negotiated to address transboundary acid rain and amended in 2000 to include ground-level ozone, a component of smog. ECCC and the U.S. EPA are responsible for implementing the obligations in the Agreement. The Agreement continues to provide important opportunities for collaboration between Canada and the U.S. on air pollution and related issues"--Plain language summary.
