That's what I really wondered about. Despite all the data assembled by Measurement Canada, no charges were laid. Actually, there was one charge laid.
How is that possible? If we move towards a system that has more measurement compliance or checking, whatever it might be, and there are still no fines applied, will that motivate the industry further? Aside from the name of the bill, is it going to motivate any changes in behaviour by retailers? Once again, we're going back to the assumption that there have been some unfair practices toward consumers. Or are they just going to view the bill as some other process they have to go through versus one that would actually benefit the consumers? I say so because if they're going to have to pay extra to do this, they're going to pass it on to customers. It's not going to come from them.
So what will be the benefit for consumers at the end of the day?
