Chapter 10 of the CUSMA establishes a procedure for replacing domestic judicial review of determinations in antidumping and countervailing duty cases involving imports from a CUSMA country with review by binational panels.

These panels are established, when a Request for Panel Review is received by the CUSMA Secretariat, to act in place of national courts to review final determinations expeditiously to determine whether they are in accordance with the antidumping or countervailing duty law of the country that made the determination.

Under Article 10.12 of the CUSMA, which came into force on July 1, 2020, the Government of Canada, the Government of the United States and the Government of Mexico established the Rules of Procedure for Article 10.12 (Binational Panel Reviews).

INTERNATIONAL JOINT COMMISSION

BOUNDARY WATERS TREATY OF 1909

International Joint Commission Reference regarding water pollution in the Elk-Kootenai/y watershed

By letters dated March 8, 2024, the governments of Canada and the United States provided a reference, pursuant to Article IX of the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909, to the International Joint Commission (IJC), requesting that the IJC undertake certain actions regarding the impacts of transboundary water pollution in the Elk Kootenai/y watershed. In accordance with the reference, the IJC will take some actions. First, it will assist the governments of the United States, Canada, and the Ktunaxa Nation, along with the states of Montana and Idaho and the Province of British Columbia, to establish a governance body and develop a Terms of Reference by June 30, 2024. As secretariat of the governance body, the IJC will provide continued advice and assistance to that entity for a minimum of two years. Second, the IJC will establish a study board within six months to conduct transparent and coordinated transboundary data and knowledge sharing to support a common understanding of pollution within the Elk-Kootenai/y watershed and the impacts of that pollution on people and species. The study board will submit a final report and recommendations, including recommendations of areas for further study, within two years after the establishment of the study board. The IJC invites interested persons to request to be added to the IJC’s mailing list to be kept updated on activities with respect to this reference. The IJC will seek opportunities for public engagement and will make its reports available in a transparent, publicly available format.

Supplementary information

The Elk River rises in the Canadian Rockies and flows into the United States at Lake Koocanusa, an impoundment of the Kootenay / Kootenai River. It then flows through the states of Montana and Idaho, and Ktunaxa lands, then back to the province of British Columbia.

The documents related to the reference can be found on the IJC website.

The International Joint Commission was established under the Boundary Waters Treaty of 1909 to help the United States and Canada prevent and resolve disputes over the use of the waters the two countries share. The Commission’s responsibilities include investigating and reporting on issues of concern when asked by the governments of the two countries. For more information, visit the IJC website.
