Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Broadly speaking, amendment NDP-1 addresses a concern about the extent of situations in which an offence is committed. In other words, the amendment would ensure that offences in which American preclearance officers might intervene are related to the travel. Here we are talking about wanting to avoid a situation in which someone might be in violation of federal legislation of a more administrative nature. It might be a tax matter, for example. The offence must apply to people who present a clear and present threat.
