A Game-Changer for Canadian Border Security
OTTAWA — In a bold move, the Liberal government announced a significant new border security bill on Tuesday that sets the stage for dramatic changes in how Canada manages its borders and asylum claims. This sweeping legislation, known as Bill C-2, proposes far-reaching powers for surveillance, data collection, and the scrutiny of asylum processes.
What’s Included in Bill C-2?
Spanning 139 pages, Bill C-2 introduces extensive reforms aimed at fortifying border security, tackling organized crime, particularly fentanyl trafficking, and enhancing measures against financial crimes. The government emphasizes three core themes of the bill: securing the border, combating organized crime, and improving the efficacy of the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG).
