Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This amendment, I think, would create a duty to use measures of the bill in good faith and it is meant to counter the potential for vexatious litigation.
The idea here is to prevent a rights holder from using detentions and delays to harm a competitor in cases where there is not a legitimate counterfeit or infringement concern, Mr. Chair. I think the main impetus in moving these amendments is to ensure that we are limiting as much as possible the cost that will be borne by small business owners who may be facing a malicious or bad faith claim by a rights holder, who may attempt to use this legislation as it is written as a means of acting anti-competitively.
