Liberals introduce bill proposing sweeping border security powers
The Liberal government introduced sweeping new legislation Tuesday that it says will protect Canada's sovereignty, strengthen the border and keep Canadians safe. Bill C-2, the Strong Borders Act, would give increased powers to Canada's security and intelligence services, expand the ability to open and inspect mail and allow officials to cancel or suspend immigration documents. The legislation proposes changes to a number of laws including the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, the Oceans Act, the Sex Offender Information Registration Act, the Criminal Code and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, among others. "We need to ensure Canada's law enforcement is equipped with the tools they need to stay ahead of organized crime groups and crack down on their illicit activities," Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree said in Ottawa Tuesday. "This is essential to maintaining the safety and security of our country … it is also a priority that we share with our neighbours." Watch | Minister says bill aligns with Charter rights: The proposed changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act give the government increased power over immigration documents in cases where public health or national security are at risk. Specifically it allows officials to cancel, suspend or change immigration documents immediately, pause the acceptance of new applications and cancel applications already in process if deemed in the public interest. The changes also allow Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to share information more widely with different agencies within Canada. Asylum claims would also have to be made within a year of entering the country, including for students and temporary residents. The immigration changes would also require irregular border crossers, people who enter Canada between official ports of entry, to make an asylum claim within 14 days of arriving in Canada. The changes would also speed up voluntary departures by making removal orders effective the same day an asylum claim is withdrawn. In January, U.S. President Donald Trump declared a national emergency and used the declaration to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico over what he said was an untenable flow of migrants and fentanyl into the United States. The Liberal government has since worked to persuade the Trump administration that Canada is acting to stem the southbound flow of drugs and migrants. Anandasangaree said Tuesday that Bill C-2 was drafted to contain "elements that will strengthen the relationship" between Canada and the U.S. "There are a number of items in the bill that have been irritants for the U.S. so we are addressing some of those issues," he said. "But it's not exclusively about the United States." The minister said he did not brief the U.S. border czar, Tom Homan, about the changes before introducing the bill but CBC News can confirm he did speak with Homan later Tuesday to provide details of the throne speech promised legislation to bolster security at Canada's borders and new tools for police and intelligence agencies to help them stop the flow of fentanyl and its precursors. The Strong Borders Act fulfils that pledge by proposing to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and the Cannabis Act to allow more control of chemicals used to make illegal drugs like fentanyl. "This will allow law and border enforcement agencies to take swift action to prevent their illegal importation and use, and to ensure strict federal oversight over any legitimate use of these chemicals," the Public Safety Ministry said in a statement. This bill builds on earlier Canadian measures, including round-the-clock surveillance of the border using helicopters, drones and surveillance towers. Ottawa is also working with Washington on a North American "joint strike force" to target organized crime groups that work across borders. In a move that gives the Canadian Coast Guard an active surveillance and security role, Bill C-2 proposes amending the Oceans Act to enable the agency to conduct "security activities" designed to "strengthen sovereignty and maritime domain awareness, particularly in remote Arctic waters." The changes to the Canadian Coast Guard would allow the agency to "collect, analyze and share information and intelligence for security purposes." The bill would also amend the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, the Customs Act and the Criminal Code to improve intelligence and law enforcement agencies' ability to access information. And it would require shippers and warehouse operators to provide access to their premises to inspect goods for export, something already required for goods being imported into Canada. Other measures in Bill C-2 include: Amending the Canada Post Corporation Act to remove barriers preventing police from searching mail when authorized to do so in the course of a criminal investigation. Ensuring electronic service providers, which officials explained meant entities that hold subscription information, retain data so it can be lawfully provided to law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Amending the Sex Offender Information Registration Act to allow the Mounties to share information with international partners. Crack down on money laundering by strengthening enforcement and penalties, and by putting restrictions on cash transactions over $10,000 and cash deposits by one individual into another's account.

Carney says he'll ‘take note' of opposition motion to table a spring economic update
OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney said he will 'take note' of the successful opposition motion to add language calling for a spring economic update to the throne speech, but did not say when or how that will happen. 'We take note of last night's motion. But what Canadians deserve … what Canadian provinces deserve is a health care transfer, a transfer for child care, a transfer for dental care, a transfer for support affordability. That's what's in the main estimates and we expect the support of members opposite,' Carney said during question period Tuesday. The government last week tabled main spending estimates worth nearly $487 billion. MPs will be required to vote on the estimates to keep government operations running into the summer. Conservative and Bloc MPs used their time during question period Tuesday to press the government to table a budget so they know what the government's finances look like before voting on more spending. Asked about tabling a spring budget or an economic update, Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said he's 'already talked about that.' Champagne has said that the government is working toward a fall budget. Speaking before the Liberal cabinet meeting Tuesday morning, government whip Mark Gerretsen insisted nothing went wrong on Monday when opposition parties successfully amended the throne speech to call on the government to table an economic update before Parliament breaks for the summer. The Liberals were defeated 166 to 164 on that vote. Four Liberal Liberal MPs did not vote because of paired abstentions, which happen when parties agree to have a member sit out a vote because someone from another party is not able to attend. Gerretsen told reporters on his way into a cabinet meeting Tuesday morning that everything went according to plan. 'Every single person who was supposed to vote yesterday voted,' he said. The amendment, tabled by House of Commons Opposition Leader Andrew Scheer, added a passage to the throne speech calling for a spring economic update. The amendment said that update should include the government's plan to 'unleash Canada's economic potential' and explain how it will respect provincial jurisdiction and Indigenous rights. The amendment includes language inserted by the Bloc Québécois and the NDP, and all three opposition parties voted to support it. Government House leader Steven MacKinnon said Tuesday the vote that really matters is the confidence motion on adopting the throne speech, set for Wednesday. 'It was a non-binding advisory resolution of the House of Commons. I suspect you're going to see a lot more of them,' MacKinnon said. 'I think the note said 'urge' and we'll take note of having been urged.' The minority Liberal government has 169 MPs, including House Speaker Francis Scarpaleggia — who does not vote, except in the event of a tie. That leaves the Liberals four votes shy of a majority, meaning they have to work with other parties to pass legislation and survive confidence motions. The NDP, which had a supply-and-confidence agreement with the previous Liberal government, has said it will not enter a formal arrangement to support Prime Minister Carney's government. The NDP was reduced to seven MPs in the recent election but could still hold the balance of power. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said his party's 144 MPs will not 'reflexively oppose' the government and will support measures that improve the status quo. But the Conservatives also have been highly critical of the government's plan to delay introducing a budget — traditionally released in the spring — until this fall. — With files from Sarah Ritchie This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 3, 2025.
