Thank you, Madam Chair.
In addition, there are a number of other more technical elements that the bill would have. There would be a requirement for industry to understand their product and its supply chain, so that if we order a recall they could prove to us there has been effectiveness in the execution of that recall. They would know who they sold to, who the importer was, etc. So record-keeping for industry is another important mechanism to ensure we can monitor compliance with the recall.
Other important provisions of the bill include administrative monetary penalties, and an increase in some of the fines in the event we are seeing non-compliance.
There are other mechanisms in those rare instances when industry chooses not to cooperate and comply so we would have the necessary authority to act appropriately.
