Federal bill to bolster border security expected early next week
OTTAWA — The Liberal government plans to introduce legislation soon to strengthen border security in response to continuing pressure from the United States.
Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree is expected to table a bill early next week.
The latest federal notice of coming legislation includes an act “respecting certain measures relating to the border between Canada and the United States and respecting other related security measures.”
The throne speech setting out the Liberal government’s agenda said this week that Canada and the United States have started defining a new economic and security relationship rooted in mutual respect and founded on common interests.
