Audit of Operational Controls at
Ports of Entry (Based on the
1996 Tassé Report) – Final Report
2.6 Approach to Referring Passengers to Secondary Examination at Pearson International Airport
The 1996 Tassé report recommended discontinuing the practice of attaching a blue paper ribbon to a traveller’s customs declaration. The audit team reviewed the implementation of the recommendation.
Shortly after the recommendation was made, this practice stopped. Now, CCRA officers identify an immigration referral (section removed). When the traveller goes through “point,” he or she is directed to immigration for secondary examination.
