A new Canada-US border regulation law finalised in Canada’s parliament will give Canadian authorities sweeping control over Canada’s 24 border crossings, including the Ambassador Bridge between Detroit MI (US) and Windsor, Ontario (Canada).
Under the new law, Transport Canada will have full control over maintenance, tolls and security of all border crossings in Canada and at any future crossings. The new statute means that Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun will no longer be able to keep the government out of his business. Bridge executives had voiced their opposition to the bill, seeking to protect the company’s CAD 60 million annual revenue.
