An example of an incentive would be if you knew that an insider disposed of shares just before some negative information was released about the corporation and the share price therefore went down, there would be a way of calculating the difference. And it's right in the act already. It's a trading price--20 trading days after the trade--so you can benchmark the difference between what that insider traded for and what that market provides. You could provide for treble damages and you could provide for class action relief so that all of the proceeds or the profit, times three, goes to all of the class people who were traded opposite that insider. This is something they have in the U.S. It's mostly created by courts in the U.S., but it doesn't exist in Canada.
