Thank you for your question, Mr. Dubourg.
I would like to make a clarification. Penalties of up to $1 million apply to individuals. As far as companies are concerned, penalties can be as high as $10 million.
As far as penalties are concerned, there is no percentage. As I explained earlier, the legislation is quite specific about the recipe to follow and the indications to come up with a figure. In addition, there are a number of Federal Court decisions that have provided guidance on the amounts to be imposed. So it’s not a matter of a percentage. There is some flexibility that allows us to do our work.
I would like to come back to the fact that an administrative monetary penalty is just one of many tools. It is used in combination with other tools. You see, for the system to work, a number of things must come together.
