There's just the other element that is maintained in this act, which is that the hybrid nature of this offence gives some discretion to prosecutors to decide the severity of the evidence with respect to the offence. As I say, the auto repair industry is not without its own problems with respect to compliance on all issues, let's just put it that way. What this is targeted at, Mr. Minister, is organized crime and chop shops and the high-end stuff. It's not, I hope, destined to get other people into the net who aren't part of those organizations.
