Chair, this is to bring it in line with the way pre-clearance currently works, that someone's refusal to answer a question is not reasonable grounds for the different powers being used for a search, and so forth. We've seen numerous occasions, whether it's with regard to people's religious beliefs or their sexual orientation and other situations, where there might be very legitimate reasons for refusing to answer a question, and that, in and of itself, we believe is not sufficient reason for an American agent to be able to exercise certain powers on a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.
