Mr. Chairman, I would say that perhaps there was a little too much emphasis on the $6 million and the $12 million. Certainly from my reading of the testimony, that seems to be the point that was retained.
In relation to the human resource challenges that are faced by the industry, it's important for the members to know that the maximums for serious offences for individuals don't change under the bill. Moreover, for less serious offences, the maximums actually come down for individuals under the regime. This tier or gradation system now tries to match appropriately the degree of the penalty with the seriousness of the offence.
The human resource challenges may be caused by a number of factors, which I wouldn't necessarily be able to comment on, but I would point out that the regime doesn't change the maximums to which individuals could be subject.
