Mr. Chair, an injunction power is a very important enforcement tool. If you're prosecuting, it can take a very long time. In the case of something like a recall, if a company is not obeying the recall, it's very important to go to the court and get them to reinforce the fact that the company really needs to follow this order. You can do that in a very brief way. You can also make sure that, again, if there's ongoing contravention, the court can then supervise the situation. It's another tool of enforcement. Again, it goes to the courts. They adjudicate it, but it can be a very rapid measure, keeping in mind that recalls are really where there's an imminent threat to human safety.
