Mr. Tawfik Said (Research Officer, Compensation and Policy Analyst, Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada) at the Health Committee

I think that, if it's done really effectively, the increased fines imposed on manufacturers will do a great deal to lighten the workload of our inspectors. It will resolve the inspector shortage problem related to retirements that will be taking place in the coming years. I am entirely in favour of the idea of increasing those fines.
