The Canada Border Services Agency ("CBSA") is changing how it assesses and collects duties and taxes on commercial goods imported into Canada.

On May 13, 2024, the CBSA Assessment and Revenue Management ("CARM") digital system will become the official system of record that importers and other chain partners will use to pay duties and taxes. This is known as Release 2. The project is aimed at importers of record, including non-resident importers.

Importers must register their business on the CARM Client Portal and delegate a business account manager in CARM. The business account manager role has the highest level of access to the business account and is authorized to read, write and edit all business information in the portal. Businesses should select a second business account manager as a backup.

Lawyer Receives 6-Month Suspension For Misuse Of Artificial Intelligence (Law Society Of Ontario v. Lee)

The misuse of artificial intelligence by litigants and lawyers continues to be alarming. Although it is well-documented that generative artificial intelligence platforms have a tendency to produce inaccurate answers to legal questions, and, moreover, to produce output which references non-existing cases or which inaccurately portrays legal propositions in existing cases, these tools continue to be used recklessly.
