The tribunal is extending the deadline for the Safe Third Country Agreement with the United States
The Federal Court of Appeal upheld a motion by the federal government to temporarily suspend a lower court ruling that would have overturned the Safe Third Country Agreement (STCA) between Canada and the United States in late January. In July, the Federal Court ruled that the Canada-US deal was unconstitutional as the administration of US President Donald Trump routinely arrested asylum seekers in poor condition. The federal government has argued that without the bilateral pact, Canada would face an influx of asylum seekers.
