Description

Canada registered amendments to its Special Economic Measures (Russia) Regulations. These changes expanded or adjusted sanctions measures under Canada’s Special Economic Measures Act. Such regulations typically affect restrictions like asset freezes and dealings with listed persons or entities. The registration date is significant because it marks the formal creation of the legal instrument. It is part of Canada’s broader sanctions policy response connected to the Russia–Ukraine conflict.
