The latest updates reflect the legislative and regulatory changes stemming from Canada’s tariff response to recent U.S. trade threats, which are set to come into force Oct. 1.
According to the March 7 news release from the Government of Canada’s Department of Finance,
“The amendments [to Canada’s Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing (AML/ATF) framework] will greatly improve efforts to combat money laundering and its link to transnational crime and drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, and complement the Government of Canada’s Border Plan as well as the recently announced creation of a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime and maintain the integrity of our shared border.”
