Federal Government and ASF Drop Zone

security pact: This is a catch-all ASF view; only displays when an unsupported article type is put in an ASF drop zone Under the Canada-U.S. perimeter security pact, the federal government committed to begin collecting records of people leaving Canada on international flights as of June 30, 2014, according to Globe and Mail. It missed that deadline and would not reveal a new date, saying only that information would be provided in due course. And with just days left in the parliamentary calendar before a fall election, it is unclear when – or even if – the necessary legislative and regulatory changes will come. However, a newly obtained internal briefing note shows federal agencies were eyeing October of this year for completion of the project. It now seems the government will almost certainly miss the revised implementation date, as the required legal and administrative changes remain to be done. The heavily censored May, 2014, note, prepared for Citizenship and Immigration Canada deputy minister, was released to The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.
