Check out Part 5, 'The Explosives Act' amendments:
'illicit trafficking'' means any importation into Canada, exportation from Canada or transportation in transit through Canada of an explosive or an **inexplosive ammunition component** if
(a) the importation or exportation is not authorized by the country of origin or the country of destination, or
(b) the transportation in transit of the explosive or the inexplosive ammunition component through any country is not authorized by that country;
IE specific authorization will be required for all import/export of brass, bullets and so on.
``inexplosive ammunition component'' means any cartridge case or bullet, or any projectile that is used in a firearm as defined in section 2 of the Criminal Code;
Loose translation: brass, bullets, anything you can fit into a muzzle or shotshell.
14. (1) For the purpose of ensuring compliance with this Act and the regulations, an inspector may, subject to subsection (5), at any reasonable time, enter and inspect any factory, magazine, vehicle or other place in which the inspector believes on reasonable grounds any explosive is being manufactured, tested , stored, sold or transported, any restricted component is being stored or sold, any inexplosive ammunition component is being stored or transported , or any fireworks are being or are intended to be used,....
IE no warrant required if the inspector 'believes on reasonable grounds' that so much as a single frigging cartridge case (aka inexplosive ammunition component) may exist - WHETHER OR NOT THAT LONE BIT OF BRASS OR LEAD IS LEGITIMATELY HELD! Un f*cking believable.
And it just goes on and on...
