I don't believe they were held accountable, based on the actions they took. Again, we're talking about a corporation that blatantly lied to the Government of Canada. The opportunity to educate them and assist them in making their product less polluting or environmentally damaging wasn't even an opportunity.
Again, within our law structure, if there was a way in which we could, at the very least, levy a larger fine that would go toward protecting or enhancing the environment in Canada.... To give you a quick example, monies could be used to build a wider infrastructure for zero-emissions vehicles across the country. We know that there are corporations out there. General Motors does business in Canada. They have committed that they will make all-electric vehicles by 2035. Well, that's not going to help Canadians if we don't have the infrastructure to support those vehicles and the people who work in those facilities.
Those fines could be used for enhancement on greater environmental opportunities in Canada.
