    Global Affairs Canada issues Notice to Exporters No. 1159 on cloud storage of controlled technology

    Global Affairs Canada's Notice to Exporters No. 1159 states that storing controlled technology in the cloud can constitute a transfer under the Export and Import Permits Act, requiring an export permit, where there is a reasonable possibility that a person outside Canada could examine the technology. GAC interprets a transfer as occurring when controlled technology is sent from Canada and stored abroad in a way that creates more than a remote possibility of foreign access, including through decryption keys or access rights. Safeguards consistent with the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security's Guidance on cloud security assessment and authorization will generally mean no permit is required.

    Global Affairs Canada says underutilization policy will not apply to 2023 CUSMA sugar-containing products TRQ allocations

    Global Affairs Canada states that, after the CUSMA sugar-containing products tariff rate quota filled and closed on November 2, 2022, it is continuing efforts to re-open the quota before the end of the year, though it is still unclear whether the TRQ will reopen before December 31, 2022 or what quantities may become available if it does. Because many allocation holders may not be able to fully use their 2022 quota allocation, the underutilization policy will not be applied when Global Affairs Canada calculates allocations for the 2023 quota year.
