Luggage would be inspected in this new facility - when you get to your final domestic destination, no additional CBSA checks required, you'd just deplane as usual.
If I was arriving from Heathrow and continuing to Charlottetown, I'd deplane and go through a special connections customs facility - no need to collect my bags, they're scanned separately. If my interview causes concern, my bags would be pulled from the queue and my bags and I would be transferred to secondary inspection for a more thorough questioning and review. If my bags caused concern, again, my bags would be pulled from the queue and my bags and I would be transferred to secondary inspection for a more thorough questioning and review. If neither my bags nor I cause concern, we continue on our way to the gate for my Charlottetown flight.
The separate screening of bags and passengers is similar to how US Preclearance works in Halifax.
