My question is the intention of Parliament.
I was listening to the previous witnesses where it seems there appeared to be a gap in Canadian legislation and that's why they needed this, but I'm not sure that gap is there. It should be that any goods that are subject to the controls or licence provisions, you shouldn't export those goods without the proper permits.
I'm not sure if an export smuggling offence within the Customs Act is the right way to go about it, because the Export and Import Permits Act has an offence provision. I'm a little confused by the provision and what they're trying to get at, over and above what's covered by other legislation.
