As you know, we've been looking at NAFTA and at trade deals. It's what we do here. I think everybody around the table would like to see more trade, better trade, more efficient trade, but of course that would include more efficiencies and better access, and things happening at the border.
In your report, you recommend that CBSA consider implementing “automated means to validate accounting declarations for quota-controlled goods to be charged customs duties at a lower rate”.
What would be the advantage and disadvantage of automating the validation of these declarations? Are there ways we could use technology or types of automation to make things a bit more efficient and accurate?
