“Canada will stand firm against Russian aggression, whether it’s Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine or cyberattacks and disinformation elsewhere in the world. That’s why the CBSA are redoubling efforts to stop critical goods and technologies from falling into Russian hands. This renewed collaboration with the United States will help bolster these efforts and hold Russia accountable.”
“Together, with the USA we will share information; conduct pre-and post-shipment verifications and audits; inspect, detain, and seize shipments; and reduce threats through coordinated enforcement actions and investigations.”
To highlight the importance of this partnership, a delegation from the United States, led by Assistant Secretary for Export Enforcement Matthew S. Axelrod, met virtually with CBSA officials in Ottawa on June 8.
