Justin Tang/The Canadian PressFollowing digital-money trails will be a priority for Canada’s new Financial Crimes Agency in the war against illicit finance, says Rob Stewart, deputy minister of the proposed law enforcement agency. Mr. Stewart, who has the task of getting the long-promised initiative off the ground, has spent months speaking to stakeholders ranging from policing agencies to private-sector experts to international partners. The Financial Crimes Agency (FCA) could launch as early as next year, depending on when Bill C-29, the legislation to establish it, passes, Mr. Stewart said. The bill, which was introduced in the spring and is currently being studied by MPs in a parliamentary committee, aims to more effectively target financial crimes.

Class Action in Rough Halifax Plane Landing Certified in Supreme Court - VOCM
The Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador has certified a class action on behalf of passengers on board Air Canada Flight AC 2259 which landed hard at Halifax in December of 2025 after the plane’s landing gear collapsed. The flight had taken off from St. John’s International earlier that evening, and officials at YYT later confirmed that debris was found on one of its runways after the flight took off. They wouldn’t say at the time whether the discovery was related to the incident at Halifax. The class action names Air Canada, Provincial Aerospace Ltd, St. John’s International Airport Authority and the Halifax International Airport Authority, all of whom have consented to certification. Stephen Barnes of Bob Buckingham Law says they want to understand what went wrong that night and make sure that passengers have an opportunity to be fairly compensated for what they went through. The case will examine whether the defendants met their responsibilities for aircraft safety, runway safety and emergency response, and whether any failures caused injury or loss to passengers.
