Basically any Canadian organization or individual can make a request. The case here is in relation to North Korea. Any individual or organization that wanted, for whatever reason, to export to North Korea or to have some financial transaction or any other activity that's precluded could apply to the government through our department to make that request.
We look at these on a case-by-case basis. We would look at each individual request to see what's being proposed and whether we think it matches with the allowed exemptions under the act and the regulations, so if, for example, it seemed like these, genuinely, were goods that would be primarily humanitarian in nature. For North Korea, in particular, we are looking also at the possibility of diversion. One of the concerns is whether anything you're exporting could be diverted for use by, let's say, the military or the government.
We're looking—again, case by case—at the nature of what is being proposed. If it seems to be acceptable on humanitarian grounds, then an exemption would be granted.
