Yes, if the listing and federal definition apply. Federal E079 lists Dinitrobenzenes. The source, composition, concentration or test condition must match, and the exclusions in SOR/2021-25 still apply.

On federally regulated international shipments, the applicant records the waste classification in the waste-line details of the federal notification in CNMTS. The movement rules and exclusions also apply.

What does Federal E079 cover?

Use E079 when Dinitrobenzenes is present at >= 100.0 mg/kg by mass. The material, source and any stated condition must match, so the name alone isn't enough.
