尽管公司提起诉讼,但 CBSA 仍因强迫劳动问题扣留 $5M 太阳能电池板而辩护。 CBSA defends detaining $5M in solar panels over forced labor concerns, despite company's lawsuit.
加拿大边境事务署(CBSA)维护其决定,即由于强迫劳动问题,扣押来自Cower Solar References Inc.的价值超过500万美元的近50个集装箱太阳能电池板。 The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) defended its decision to detain nearly 50 containers of solar panels from Charge Solar Renewables Inc., valued at over $5 million, due to forced labor concerns. 该公司向联邦法院起诉了CBSA,声称拘留导致市场份额的损失。 The company sued the CBSA in Federal Court, claiming the detention led to a loss of market share. CBSA认为,它以合法和“善意”的方式行事,并表示它不欠进口商任何“谨慎义务”,因为法律不要求边防警卫考虑对商业利益的影响。 The CBSA argued it acted lawfully and in "good faith," and stated it owes no "duty of care" to importers, as the law does not require border guards to consider the impacts on business interests. 这批货物最终于6月和7月获释。 The shipments were eventually released in June and July.
