CBSA issues a temporary halt on removals to Israel
OTTAWA, ON, June 20, 2025 /CNW/ - The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has issued a temporary halt on removals to Israel. This measure is being taken given the volatile and unpredictable situation in Israel due to ongoing hostilities with Iran.
The temporary halt, known as an Administrative Deferral of Removals (ADR), is imposed pursuant to paragraph 230(1)(c) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, on countries that are considered unsafe due to conditions such as environmental disasters or violence. There are currently 16 ADRs in place for countries around the world, including one for Iran which was imposed on November 14, 2022.
The ADR does not apply to individuals who are inadmissible on grounds of criminality, serious criminality, international or human rights violations, organized crime, or security.
Once the situation in Israel stabilizes and the circumstances no longer pose a generalized risk to the entire civilian population, the ADR will be lifted and the CBSA will resume removals for individuals who are inadmissible to Canada and have a removal order that is enforceable.

Statement from Dennis Darby, President & CEO, Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters regarding passage of C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, in the House of Commons
OTTAWA, ON, June 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) welcomes today's passage of Bill C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, through the House of Commons. This legislation marks a meaningful first step toward fixing Canada's fragmented and inefficient approach to infrastructure approvals - one that has held back investment, delayed major projects, and weakened our economic competitiveness. From highways and ports to pipelines and clean energy infrastructure, Canada needs to get major projects moving - faster. Bill C-5 can help pave the way for clearer oversight, reduced duplication and greater government accountability, all of which are vital building the infrastructure our economy depends on. But this is only the beginning. The passage of Bill C-5 must not be the end of the conversation - it must be the starting point for a broader transformation. The federal government must now turn its attention to a much harder task: tackling the underlying web of outdated legislation, regulatory inefficiencies, and policy contradictions that have made a bill like this necessary in the first place. Until those deeper barriers are addressed, Canada will continue to struggle to attract private sector investment in the kinds of projects - big and small, urban and rural - that create jobs, grow communities, and position our economy for long-term success. Manufacturers are looking for outcomes, not just intentions. We look forward to the Bill passing in the Senate so that we can build on this momentum and do the hard work needed to truly unlock Canada's potential. About Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) From the first industrial boom in Canada, CME has advocated for and represented member interests. 150 years strong, CME has earned an extensive and effective track record of working for thousands of leading companies nationwide. More than 85 per cent of CME's members are SMEs and collectively account for an estimated 82 per cent of total manufacturing production and 90 per cent of Canada's exports.
