(b) a written report as to whether the goods are originating within the meaning of Chapter 3 of CUFTA; or
(c) a written report as to whether the goods are originating within the meaning of the Protocol on Rules of Origin and Origin Procedures of CETA.
(12) If subsection 84(2) of the other Act comes into force before subsection 22(2) of this Act, then that subsection 22(2) is repealed.
(13) If subsection 84(2) of the other Act comes into force on the same day as subsection 22(2) of this Act, then that subsection 22(2) is deemed to have come into force before that subsection 84(2).
