Running a venting duct through a cold air return
am remodelling a basement and I noticed that the old bathroom has the vent duct running through the cold air return ( for about 6ft, in and out, the entrance and exit are sealed) and then outside. It does not seem to impede air circulation, there I plenty of volume left, even with the duct inside. Is that ok, or should I try to reroute the duct around the cold air return (which might not be an easy task)? I am in Canada, in case regulations are different between Canada and US.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me but we're not there to see details that might make this make sense.

Not sure about Canada's code. I've seen all kinds of things run in the return air ducts, shouldn't effect the performance of the furnace.
