Thank you, Madam Chair.
With respect to the member's comments, I would respectfully suggest that Bill C-6 does create those incentives. It significantly changes the Hazardous Products Act. The penalties that we had were really not very significant, and the onus was on the government to prove that a product was hazardous and to go through all the steps to do that.
This new Bill C-6 creates a general prohibition. All industry must know the products that they make and how they will be used. If they're not good for the health of Canadians, they will break that general prohibition, and the government will be able to move, and move quickly, through a range of actions if they do not follow the instructions of departmental officials. Then we have significant penalties that we can impose on them.
We are quite significantly changing the rules of the game for industry, for importers, and for manufacturers through the general prohibition and the penalties to make sure they are acting responsibly and in the interests of the health and safety of Canadians.
