No. Unfortunately, I think people are misconstruing “mandatory recall”. While it is true that under the CFIA Act, section 19, the minister has the authority to require a recall, by obligation, by law, this power is normally executed where a company is either not in a position--they've gone bankrupt--or they've refused to cooperate.
In fact, by all standards, a voluntary recall is much more effective than a mandatory recall, because you not only have your own staff--in our case working with public health units--to go out and verify effectiveness checks and trace through the distribution chain. Normally in a voluntary recall, the company itself contributes by making their salespersons, their distributors, also available to carry out those functions. In fact, voluntary recalls actually unfold in much faster time with a much higher level of achievement than a mandatory recall, where you're working with a supplier who is not being cooperative.
