It was made during COVID to make re-entry into the country easier. Included things like quarantine instructions, etc. etc. etc.
Now it's being used as a pre-entry customs and declaration tool to fill out information before you arrive to Canada, and allows you to take an "express line" through customs - I have a few Canadian friends that go down south every winter and they have mentioned it really doesn't speed things up as there's still a bottleneck that each passenger getting off the plane needs to complete - although maybe things have changed recently.

For 10,200 people it also had the nice feature of erroneously telling them they had to quarantine or risk fines up to $5000 per day. Oops.
