Government's narrative on progress
Canada is committed to expand the preclearance program in all modes of transportation under the Land, Rail, Marine and Air Preclearance Agreement (LRMA), once it is ratified. Canada's *Preclearance Act, 2016* received Royal Assent in December 2017 and will come into force with the ratification of the LRMA. Regulations flowing from the *Preclearance Act, 2016* are in development.
