McCarthy Tétrault and the Canadian Association of Importers and Exporters are presenting the second program in I.E. Canada’s Export Compliance Webinar Series —  "CGP/ITAR and What It Means to Canadian Companies."

John Boscariol, Leader of our International Trade & Investment Law Group and Co-Chair of I.E. Canada’s Export Committee, will be leading this webinar which will examine Canada’s defence trade controls under the Controlled Goods Program administered by Public Works and Government Services Canada. In the past, Canadian defence and aerospace companies struggled with requirements under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations that prohibited employees of certain nationalities or born in certain proscribed countries from accessing U.S.-controlled defence services and technology in Canada. Recent changes in both Canadian and U.S. defence trade controls have sought to address potential conflicts with Canadian human rights and employment laws. This program will review these new security and control regimes and consider ongoing challenges for Canadian companies.
