Sure, there is merit in the suggestion, particularly as they would sometimes be looking at certain things. The export controls division doesn't operate vis-à-vis sanctions the same way that other organisms of the Canadian government do. When Canadian officials are looking at whether or not to authorize an export permit, the first thing they look at is whether or not the proposed destination or actor is sanctioned. If they are, then that permit is obviously not approved.
There could be merit to the idea that they could be combined. That's all I would have to say.
