CVMA statement on the Strong Borders Act
Statement by Brian Kingston, President & CEO of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers’ Association:
“The CVMA welcomes the introduction of Bill C-2, the Strong Borders Act, that includes strengthened authorities and tools to the CBSA and law enforcement to build on their efforts to secure Canada’s borders, deter auto theft, and stem the flow of stolen vehicles to foreign markets. Enhanced measures to provide CBSA officers with easier access to examine goods destined for export, improve coordination across law enforcement jurisdictions, and augment anti-money laundering penalties are positive steps towards lowering the incidence of auto-related theft and fraud that is rooted in organized crime groups.
“Bill C-2 presents constructive actions to address vehicle theft. We appreciate government’s continued attention and efforts on this important matter.”
