What happened
The Government of Canada announced the launch of the Trade Digitalization Task Force on October 30, 2026, to modernize the nation's trade and transport system. The Task Force will bring together government and industry to identify barriers and accelerate the digitalization of trade in Canada. A key component of the effort is a “Tell Us Once” approach, which would allow businesses to submit information once for secure sharing across federal departments.
