No. Right now, our CBSA officers gain most of their authority under subsection 2(1) of the Customs Act, so when this bill was written, it was written in a way such that their authority needs to be designated. However, right now we do not designate our officers, so once you become a BSO, a border services officer, automatically you have full responsibilities to conduct the immigration examination and the customs examination. We do not need to administratively designate each one of them. This amendment just makes sure that the definition is the same as the one under subsection 2(1) of the Customs Act.
