Bill C-14 amends federal laws to enable Federal Court enforcement of trade-related orders and repeals a specific provision from another federal law.
Bill C-14 proposes to amend two federal laws: the Agreement on Internal Trade Implementation Act and the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act. The changes would allow the Federal Court to enforce orders related to tariff costs and penalties under the Agreement on Internal Trade. It would also remove a specific provision from the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act.
- Allows the Federal Court to enforce orders requiring the Government of Canada to pay tariff costs or monetary penalties under the Agreement on Internal Trade
- Replaces the definition of 'Agreement' in the Agreement on Internal Trade Implementation Act to include its 1994 version and amendments
- Adds a new section (8.1) to the Agreement on Internal Trade Implementation Act to facilitate court enforcement of specific orders
- Repeals subsection 28(3) of the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act
- Federal government agencies involved in trade agreements
- Courts and legal entities seeking enforcement of trade-related orders
- Individuals or organizations claiming liability against the Crown
- The third chunk of the bill text is empty and does not contain additional information
- The exact scope of 'orders to pay tariff costs' and 'monetary penalties' is not fully detailed in the summary
