Government Enhances Auto Theft Penalties
The federal government has announced investments in the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and enhanced scanning equipment as part of a broader initiative to combat auto theft and organized crime. Amendments to the Criminal Code are set to impose tougher penalties for such crimes, potentially impacting manufacturers and dealers. These changes could influence the supply chain, vehicle pricing, and dealership security measures. Additionally, bail reforms have been implemented to address repeat offenses, which may alter the landscape of automotive insurance and risk assessment.
