I'll unpack it a little bit, and then feel free to ask any follow-up questions if it's not clear.
The language in section 6, as drafted now, specifically requires those facilities to be provided uniquely for “imported goods”. It's not just about the examination of goods; it specifies only imported goods right now in section 6.
Where it comes down to what is provided at the 67 different private ports that operate across the country—we call them “legislative facilities” versus what we call “custodial-owned facilities” for the rest of the 200 and some-odd ports that the CBSA operates—there are a variety of different requirements from a commercial inspection point or from a passenger perception perspective, simply based on the volumes and type of traffic coming in.
The marine ports, for example, are all privately owned marine ports. The marine container examination facilities, for example, are provided by our section 6 owners and operators, and are unique to marine ports of entry, whereas, when we look at our land borders, which are, for the most part, majority-owned by the Government of Canada, there are significant inspection facilities, including secondary examination facilities, large-scale imagings, etc., at those busier commercial ports, like we have in southern Manitoba, southern Ontario and B.C.
The facilities that are required are specific to the type of traffic received, and there are differences between what's required from private sector-owned ports versus ones that are owned wholly by the Government of Canada.
On the second part of your question related to what is covered in that section 6 and what is not, and the difference between the specification around the inspection of goods coming into the country versus the language that has been submitted under Bill C-12, which is around advancing the CBSA's mandate, it's really just to make sure that in those facilities where the CBSA does not own the land or the buildings, we are able to work in partnership with those section 6 owner-operators to ensure that we're able to fulfill the full mandate of the agency in terms of its inspections of people's goods.
To your question around whether lunchrooms, parking, etc., are provided to the CBSA, those are done in negotiations and discussions with the section 6 operators under a framework that exists in order to delineate which goods are deemed part of the delivery of our service and which ones are ancillary and therefore covered by the Government of Canada.
