I have a point of clarification.
The bill would establish authority to make export allocation regulations, and those would be regulations of general application. If there were to be quota allocated in, let's say, three regions in the country, the export allocation regulations would apply to allocation decisions with respect to all of those regions. The export allocation regulations will establish the elements of an application, and the minister must take those into account in considering the decision whether to allocate or whether to consent to a transfer. Those are the generic regulations applicable to all.
As well, the minister would have authority to make orders called allocation method orders, following the model of the allocation method orders that are used to implement supply-managed agriculture import controls. Section 6.2 of the Export and Import Permits Act is actually modelled on legislation that has been in place since 1994.
Those allocation method orders will be made for individual regions. If a particular allocation method is to be established for the region, the eligibility criteria to obtain quota in that region will be established in the allocation method order.
So you have two sets of regulations governing allocations: one is generally to apply to procedure, and the other, the allocation method order, would be a substantive eligibility criterion order.
