That proposed change will not take effect in 2016. The proposed decision is open for public consultation until June 10 and a final decision will come at a later date. Information on the public consultation and the proposed re-evaluation decision can be found here: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/cps-spc/pest/part/consultations/_rev2016-06/index-eng.php
