Refine by MP, party, committee, province, or result type.
Industry committee Again, the data is Measurement Canada's data, so there are many, many inspections in that. As far as our own sites, obviously the accuracy of our own pumps is an ongoing exercise and we work very hard at that. That's already in place.

Industry committee Absolutely. Again, in the absence of charges and prosecutions, and with the knowledge they are checking their pumps regularly, there was no reason for a retailer to be concerned. But I obviously cannot speak for every individual retailer.

Industry committee Right.
June 15th, 2010Committee meeting
Jane Savage
Industry committee No. I think there is, as I mentioned earlier, the concern that the term “violation” has not been defined and is left to the regulatory regime. We see that certainly as an opportunity, and having spoken to Measurement Canada, we expect a fully open and strong consultation period h
