69.1 (1) Despite paragraph 69(1)(a) and subsection 69(3) and subject to subsection (2), a person may export a regulated animal, as defined in section 10, to the United States for the purpose of re-entering Canada without meeting the requirements of Part XV if the President of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency determines that

• (a) a transportation route within Canada usually used to transport the animal cannot be used because the route is obstructed;

• (b) no reasonable alternative transportation route in Canada exists; and

• (c) as a result of the obstruction, the welfare of the animal is at risk.

(2) No person shall export a regulated animal, as defined in section 10, under subsection (1) unless it is accompanied by a certificate issued by a veterinary inspector, or a certificate issued by an accredited veterinarian that is approved in writing by a veterinary inspector, that specifies

• (a) the species of the animal and the number of animals of each species being transported; and

• (b) the number of the seal affixed to the conveyance used for the transport of the animal, unless, in the opinion of the veterinary inspector or the accredited veterinarian, the conveyance cannot be sealed.
