Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With regard, Mr. Beaudoin, to the fines and penalties, I think right now the $200,000 is a joke. I'm going to look for an amendment on that. It reminds me that in this country we used to be able to write off environmental fines and penalties and other tax deductions for, basically, criminal activity. It was used basically as part of operations. One could get up to 40% to 50% —in fact, one drug company had a $40-million fine for illegal marketing but got $11 million of that back at tax time.
I guess with this legislation, it will be up to a million dollars, so it will allow for those cases. If it's a small business or a small organization and it's an honest mistake, it could be looked at and they could set that lower. To you, is even a million too little?
In terms of what we're dealing with here, with it being up to a million, there's no guarantee that you're going to get that. Obviously there is going to be some review on that. What are your thoughts on that?
I think that $200,000 is the cost of doing business really.
