Liberals introduce bill proposing sweeping border security powers
Bill C-2 allows officials to cancel, suspend or change immigration documents in the 'public interest'
The Liberal government introduced sweeping new legislation Tuesday that it says will protect Canada's sovereignty, strengthen the border and keep Canadians safe.
Bill C-2, the Strong Borders Act, would give increased powers to Canada's security and intelligence services, expand the ability to open and inspect mail and allow officials to cancel or suspend immigration documents.
The legislation proposes changes to a number of laws including the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, the Oceans Act, the Sex Offender Information Registration Act, the Criminal Code and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, among others.
"We need to ensure Canada's law enforcement is equipped with the tools they need to stay ahead of organized crime groups and crack down on their illicit activities," Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree said in Ottawa Tuesday.
"This is essential to maintaining the safety and security of our country … it is also a priority that we share with our neighbours."
Watch | Minister says bill aligns with Charter rights:
Public safety minister says border bill is in line with CharterThe proposed changes to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act give the government increased power over immigration documents in cases where public health or national security are at risk.
Specifically it allows officials to cancel, suspend or change immigration documents immediately, pause the acceptance of new applications and cancel applications already in process if deemed in the public interest.
The changes also allow Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to share information more widely with different agencies within Canada.
Asylum claims would also have to be made within a year of entering the country, including for students and temporary residents.
The immigration changes would also require irregular border crossers, people who enter Canada between official ports of entry, to make an asylum claim within 14 days of arriving in Canada.
The changes would also speed up voluntary departures by making removal orders effective the same day an asylum claim is withdrawn.
Placating the United States
In January, U.S. President Donald Trump declared a national emergency and used the declaration to impose tariffs on Canada and Mexico over what he said was an untenable flow of migrants and fentanyl into the United States.
The Liberal government has since worked to persuade the Trump administration that Canada is acting to stem the southbound flow of drugs and migrants.
Anandasangaree said Tuesday that Bill C-2 was drafted to contain "elements that will strengthen the relationship" between Canada and the U.S.
"There are a number of items in the bill that have been irritants for the U.S. so we are addressing some of those issues," he said. "But it's not exclusively about the United States."
The minister said he did not brief the U.S. border czar, Tom Homan, about the changes before introducing the bill but CBC News can confirm he did speak with Homan later Tuesday to provide details of the plan.
WATCH | Public safety minister says bill addresses U.S. concerns:
Border bill addresses 'irritants for the U.S.,' says public safety ministerThe throne speech promised legislation to bolster security at Canada's borders and new tools for police and intelligence agencies to help them stop the flow of fentanyl and its precursors.
The Strong Borders Act fulfils that pledge by proposing to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act and the Cannabis Act to allow more control of chemicals used to make illegal drugs like fentanyl.
"This will allow law and border enforcement agencies to take swift action to prevent their illegal importation and use, and to ensure strict federal oversight over any legitimate use of these chemicals," the Public Safety Ministry said in a statement.
This bill builds on earlier Canadian measures, including round-the-clock surveillance of the border using helicopters, drones and surveillance towers.
Ottawa is also working with Washington on a North American "joint strike force" to target organized crime groups that work across borders.
New role for the coast guard
In a move that gives the Canadian Coast Guard an active surveillance and security role, Bill C-2 proposes amending the Oceans Act to enable the agency to conduct "security activities" designed to "strengthen sovereignty and maritime domain awareness, particularly in remote Arctic waters."
The changes to the Canadian Coast Guard would allow the agency to "collect, analyze and share information and intelligence for security purposes."
The bill would also amend the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act, the Customs Act and the Criminal Code to improve intelligence and law enforcement agencies' ability to access information. And it would require shippers and warehouse operators to provide access to their premises to inspect goods for export, something already required for goods being imported into Canada.
Other measures in Bill C-2 include:
- Amending the Canada Post Corporation Act to remove barriers preventing police from searching mail when authorized to do so in the course of a criminal investigation.
- Ensuring electronic service providers, which officials explained meant entities that hold subscription information, retain data so it can be lawfully provided to law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
- Amending the Sex Offender Information Registration Act to allow the Mounties to share information with international partners.
- Crack down on money laundering by strengthening enforcement and penalties, and by putting restrictions on cash transactions over $10,000 and cash deposits by one individual into another's account.

Interim N.S. Liberal leader unsure if he wants job permanently as party releases leadership rules
Derek Mombourquette says that's a discussion that would need to happen with his family
Nova Scotia's interim Liberal leader said Monday he hasn't given much thought to whether he wants the job on a permanent basis, as the party released the rules for next year's leadership race.
The new leader will be selected at a convention on Nov. 28, 2026 — two years after the party suffered its most devastating election performance ever and returned to Province House with just two MLAs.
Candidates have until July 28, 2026, to submit their nomination package, but whether that shortlist will include interim Liberal Leader Derek Mombourquette remains to be seen.
"That would be a conversation I would have with my family, which we haven't really talked about at length to date," the MLA for Sydney-Membertou told CBC News.
Electronic and telephone voting for the party's next leader will run Nov. 21-28, 2026, using a preferential ballot.
Leadership candidates must be at least 18 and a member of the Liberal Party — and no other party — and submit a non-refundable nomination fee of $25,000, paid in three instalments, plus a $5,000 compliance deposit. The deposit is returned to the candidate following the election as long as all required financial filings have been made.
The nomination package must include at least 100 signatures from members in good standing, at least 10 of whom are young Liberals. The signatures must also include members from at least 10 different electoral districts and 15 new members of the Angus L. Club, the party's monthly donor program.
All would-be candidates are subject to a greenlighting process before they can be officially considered in the race for leader.
1-member, 1-vote system
Campaigns are subject to a $250,000 expense limit, which includes the value of donated goods and services, but not the nomination fee, compliance deposit or expenses related to accessibility or family. The borrowing limit for each campaign is $30,000.
The election of the new leader will use a one-member, one-vote system, weighted by provincial district.
Each district is worth 100 points, meaning there is a total available 5,500 points based on there being 55 electoral districts. A candidate requires 2,751 points to win the leadership.
If no candidate has that total after the first tabulation, the candidate with the lowest total is dropped and their points are reassigned to another candidate based on the second selection on the ranked ballot.
That process will continue until a candidate reaches 2,751 points.
Former Liberal MLAs Patricia Arab and David Wilton are co-chairing the leadership committee.
Rankin not running
Mombouquette has served as the party's interim leader since last December when Zach Churchill stepped down after losing his seat in the provincial election.
The party's bylaws state that whoever holds the role of interim leader must agree in writing to remain neutral and not run in the election of the party leader.

after the party's poor showing in the provincial election.

role at some point. (Galen McRae/CBC)
When Mombourquette took the helm on an interim basis, it was understood he would do so temporarily and at some point the role would shift to Timberlea-Prospect MLA Iain Rankin, the party's other member in Province House.
Rankin, who previously served as premier and party leader until the Progressive Conservatives defeated the Liberals in the 2021 provincial election, told CBC News on Monday that he's not interested in another run at the job.

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki tried to ‘jeopardize’ mass murder
investigation to advance Trudeau’s gun control efforts

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki “made a promise” to Public Safety
Minister Bill Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office to leverage the
mass murders of April 18/19, 2020 to get a gun control law passed.
A week after the murders, Lucki pressured RCMP in Nova Scotia to
release details of the weapons used by the killer. But RCMP commanders
in Nova Scotia refused to release such details, saying doing so would
threaten their investigation into the murders.
The Trudeau government’s gun control objectives were spelled out in an
order in council issued in May 2020, and were encapsulated in Bill
C-21, which was tabled last month, but the concern in April 2020 was
the extent to which politics threatened to interfere with a
cross-border police investigation into how the killer managed to
obtain and smuggle into Canada four illegal guns used to commit many
of the 22 murders.
The RCMP subsequently learned the killer paid a man named Neil
Gallivan to purchase one assault-style rifle at a 2019 gun show in
Houlton, Maine. The killer also obtained two illegal handguns from a
close friend and collector named Sean Conlogue.
No charges have been laid against either Gallivan or Conlogue, and
it’s still unclear why.
“Reduced to tears”
RCMP Support Services Officer Darren Campbell
But the Mounties didn’t have that information on April 28, 2020 — just
one week after the murders — when Nova Scotia Supt. Darren Campbell
briefed journalists at a news conference.
Compared to earlier briefings given by Chief Supt. Chris Leather, the
head of Criminal Operations, Campbell was much more forthcoming. He
answered questions about the timeline for the murders, the possible
motivation of the gunman, and the condition and role of intimate
partner Lisa Banfield.
On the firearms question, Campbell told journalists he “couldn’t get
into details… because the investigation is still active and ongoing,”
except to confirm the gunman had several semi-automatic handguns and
two semi-automatic rifles.
Shortly after the news conference Campbell, Asst. Commander Lee
Bergerman, Leather, and Nova Scotia Communications director Lia
Scanlan were summoned to a meeting. RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and
a deputy from Ottawa were on the conference call. Lucki was not happy.
Campbell’s handwritten notes made immediately following that meeting
describe what happened:
The Commissioner was obviously upset. She did not raise her voice
but her choice of words was indicative of her overall dissatisfaction
with our work. The Commissioner accused us (me) of disrespecting her
by not following her instructions. I was and remain confused over
this. The Commissioner said she told Comms to tell us at H Division to
include specific info about the firearms used by [the killer]….However
I said we couldn’t because to do so would jeopardize ongoing efforts
to advance the U.S. side of the case as well as the Canadian
components of the investigation. Those are facts and I stand by them.
Campbell noted that Lucki went on at length and said she was “sad and
disappointed” that he had not provided these details to the media.
Campbell continued:
The Commissioner said she had promised the Minister of Public
Safety and the Prime Minister’s Office that the RCMP (we) would
release this information. I tried to explain there was no intent to
disrespect anyone however we could not release this information at
this time. The Commissioner then said that we didn’t understand, that
this was tied to pending gun control legislation that would make
officers and the public safer. She was very upset and at one point
Deputy Commissioner (Brian) Brennan tried to get things calmed down
but that had little effect. Some in the room were reduced to tears and
emotional over this belittling reprimand.
Keeping the death toll from the public
A document released by the Mass Casualty Commission (MCC) today —
“Public Communications from RCMP and Government After Portapique” —
indicates there were earlier sources of tension between National RCMP
Headquarters in Ottawa and ‘H’ Division in Nova Scotia over how
information concerning the victims would be controlled.
Lia Scanlan was the director of strategic communications for the RCMP
in Nova Scotia. She told the commission the national RCMP HQ was aware
a news conference was planned for 6pm on Sunday evening, April 19,
2020, and it was “explicitly stated that we were doing all the
communications.”
During this first surreal briefing only hours after the gunman and
been shot and killed by police, most of the focus was on the murder of
RCMP Cst. Heidi Stevenson rather than the murders of multiple
civilians. Only 10 minutes into the press conference, and in response
to a reporter’s question, Chief Supt. Chris Leather shocked most Nova
Scotians when he confirmed there were “in excess of 10 victims.”
Leather had been told one hour before the briefing there were at least
15 confirmed victims at 15 crime scenes, with the possibility of more.
Many who watched the live briefing observed the RCMP officer appeared
like a deer caught in headlights.
But Nova Scotia ‘H’ Division did not have control of the message.
Contravening the agreed protocol, throughout the early hours of Sunday
evening, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki agreed to a number of
one-on-one interviews with reporters. At 7:36pm, CBC News quoted Lucki
as stating there were 13 victims; at 7:40pm, CTV reported Lucki had
said 14 victims; and at 7:56pm, the Canadian Press quoted Lucki as
having confirmed 17 dead, including the gunman.
The public and the press corps were both confused and alarmed.
“So how does it happen that Commissioner Lucki….?”, MCC lawyer Krista
Smith started to ask Communications director Lia Scanlan during an
interview last February.
“I don’t know, ask National Headquarters,” retorted Scanlan.“The
commissioner releases a body count that we (Communications) don’t even
have. She went out and did that. It was all political pressure. That
is 100% Minister Blair and the Prime Minister. And we have a
Commissioner that does not push back.”
At 10:21 Sunday night, Lia Scanlan emailed Sharon Tessier, the senior
communications manager at RCMP National Headquarter, and two
colleagues asking them to speak to Lucki about releasing victim
information:
Can I make a request that we stop changing the number of victims.
Please allow us to lead the release of information. It looks
fragmented and inconsistent. I spoke with the Commanding Officer
tonight and we will be updating this tomorrow.
We knew at the time of the press event it was more than 10
(victims) but that is what we came to ground on for the event. That is
our plan tomorrow, to update as our members continue their jobs and
discover more crime scenes and bodies. The changes in number are
causing our phones to ring off the hook…
For consideration, Lia
Despite the frustration of journalists and citizens trying to grasp
the magnitude of what had happened in northern Nova Scotia, the
reporting of the number of deceased would continue to change over the
next couple of days.
At the second news briefing held Monday April 20 at 2pm, Leather said
“I can confirm there are 19 victims but we expect there may be more.”
Asked why, Leather suggested that because so many homes had burned to
the ground, it might take longer to find and identify other victims.
That sounded reasonable. Unfortunately, it didn’t square with notes
from the the Major Crimes Investigation unit. The notes show
Investigators had confirmed 22 victims as of 11pm the previous Sunday
night. At the 2pm news conference Monday afternoon, RCMP in Nova
Scotia said they could not release the names of the civilian victims
until the Medical Examiner had completed forensic identifications. But
by 5:25pm that same day, the MCC document shows all next-of-kin
families of victims had been notified so there was no compelling
reason not to release the names.
Ultimately, the RCMP didn’t release the names until after media
outlets, including the Halifax Examiner, had independently reported
them.
In Ottawa, Public Safety minister Bill Blair and Commissioner Lucki
conducted their own media briefing on Monday at 2:30pm.
The senior Communications manager from RCMP HQ, Sharon Tessier, had
called Nova Scotia Comms earlier in the day to say HQ supported
releasing the names of all victims. During his briefing Blair
announced that the killer’s victims included “a nurse, a teacher,
corrections officers, a serving police officer, parents, neighbours,
and friends.” Blair and Lucki talked about “18 lives” being lost,
adding to the inconsistency and confusion over how large a tragedy had
occurred.
On Tuesday April 21, RCMP in Nova Scotia posted information on its
Facebook account that named the communities where the killer had taken
lives and confirmed a total of 23 victims. Later in the day that
number was adjusted to 22 and the revised post acknowledged the killer
had been shot and killed by police.
