Urgent stay motions adjourned sine die, not dismissed for mootness, after COVID-19 cancelled removal flights.
Due to flight unavailability amid the COVID-19 crisis, CBSA cancelled the scheduled removals of the applicants.
The respondent sought to dismiss the pending stay motions for mootness, while the applicants requested adjournments.
The Court held that despite the cancelled removals, a live controversy remained.
Considering judicial economy and the likelihood of new removal directions, the Court rejected mootness and ordered the stay motions adjourned sine die, establishing procedural conditions for updating records once new removal dates are issued.
