A Canadian federal opposition party leader is urging the government to block a $125 million data-sharing agreement between Canadian media and information giant Thomson Reuters and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Under the deal, ICE will pay the company to utilize its investigative database to help identify alleged immigration fraud.

The call for intervention targets the administration of Mark Carney, pressing federal authorities to step in and prevent the implementation of the data access agreement.
