The National Post reports in its Tuesday, May 21, edition that the federal government says more intelligence sharing among police forces and a working group involving all levels of government are among the measures it is implementing as part of a national strategy to combat auto theft. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that the number of senior cabinet ministers, including Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and Public Safety Minister Dominic Leblanc, unveiled the strategy in Brampton, Ont., on Monday, months after the feds convened a summit to address what it describes as a complex and growing international concern. Several of the measures touted in the new strategy, such as $28-million meant to help prevent cars from being shipped abroad and the introduction of new offences to the Criminal Code, were previously announced in this year's federal budget. However, the National Action Plan on Combatting Auto Theft also calls for more interventions at ports, with the Canada Border Services Agency tasked with expanding searches of shipping containers in a bid to stop vehicles from being sent overseas.
