It was mentioned earlier that similar laws have been put in place in other countries. The United States and the European Union were specifically mentioned. Have you noticed whether harmonizing their legislation has had any negative effects as well as the positive ones? Were the inspectors ready for the job, and were there enough of them? Did businesses need to change their operations, and, if so, was adapting to these changes complicated for them? Have we seen fewer incidents?
