It follows along very nicely on the discussion we were having. This amendment proposes to provide clarity that the information that is shared between border officials and rights holders can be used for the purposes of reaching an out-of-court settlement. This goes to the point that was just raised by Mr. Warawa, in the context of a situation in which they want to avoid legal costs, and they would like to get the goods off the market.
The committee heard testimony from witnesses that in some cases one container is opened up and it has infringing goods or suspected infringing goods from many different rights holders. In that case, we wanted to make very clear that an out-of-court settlement would be provided and that there would be a mechanism for that to happen on a simplified basis. That's the purpose of this amendment: to clarify that the rights holders can use the information they receive from the border agents for the purposes of obtaining an out-of-court settlement.
