On March 24, 2026, advocates and legal experts submitted a request for investigation to the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Section of the Department of Justice Canada regarding Metrontario Investments Limited and its affiliated corporations (Metrontario). The submission outlines their complicity in the commission of war crimes associated with illegal settlements in the occupied Palestinian territory and in the occupied Syrian Golan.

Submitting parties included Just Peace Advocates, Al-Haq, Palestinian Canadian Congress, Arab Canadian Lawyers Association, Michael Lynk, Alex Neve, Ardi Imseis, Heidi Matthews, Lisa Loader, Nicholas Pope, and Jonathan Kuttab.

Metrontario was added to the UN database of business enterprises involved in illegal settlement activities in September 2025. It was listed due to its “use of natural resources, in particular water and land, for business purposes.” Currently, Metrontario is the only Canadian company included of the total 158 companies.

Metrontario is also connected to the Nathan and Lily Silver Foundation which funds Canadian charities that are directing resources to illegal settlements and the Israeli military.
