Okay. Can you make sure that there's some kind of provision to make sure that the other party understands the request. In Canada, we are a multicultural society. In many cases French and English might not be the person's first language and they might have difficulty understanding the request. I don't want their lack of understanding because of the language barrier to be seen as obstructing the officers in carrying out their duties. I just want to make sure that the language issue is being addressed.
You said there's also a time reference for the other party to respond. When the officer makes a request, do they have to respond immediately or can they engage in consultation? I can think of the situation where perhaps the person the officer is dealing with is only a caretaker—he's the lowest person in the hierarchy—and may say he doesn't have authority to open the door for an inspection. How would you address those situations?
