The Canada Border Services Agency ("CBSA") has issued a notice regarding the use of U.S. based equipment and drivers to perform point-to-point movements within Canada, a practice known as "cabotage."  The notice does not change the applicable cabotage rules, but was instead drafted to increase awareness of cabotage rules.  Based on simultaneous press releases by CBSA, cross-border motor carriers can expect increased enforcement ofthe cabotage rules which generally prohibit non-Canadian drivers from performing any point-to-point moves, but which allow U.S. based equipment to make one point-to-point move as long as the move is "incidental" to an international move.
