I'll recap a little more slowly. My apologies again, Madame DeBellefeuille.
Your question really invokes two components of the Customs Act.
The first is the one that is dealt with in the amendment under section 97, which deals with access to the goods, so that's our ability to access the goods that are being exported in this particular case.
The second one your question touches on is the actual authority to examine those goods, which is covered under section 99 of the Customs Act and is not part of Bill C-12.
The way proposed sections 97.01 and 97.02 are written lays out specifically within the legislation the conditions that must be met before an officer can request access to those goods. The goods need to be identified by the CBSA as being imminently exported or being loaded for export. We need to know that, and that can be because they're reported or because we have other information that those goods are about to be exported, that they're under the control of the person and that they are in that location because they're loaded, unloaded or stored.
There are some constraints that are written into section 97 that mirror the existing constraints under section 21 of the Customs Act, which deals with the exact same issue but on importation.
