Thank you very much.
I want to thank all the witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Sharpe, prior to being elected federally, I was a member of the provincial legislature in Ontario and I did a lot of work on consumer protection issues. One of the things I learned about consumer protection is that if you want to prevent violations of the Consumer Protection Act—things like people who are duping consumers or selling things door to door, which is now illegal in Ontario—there are two factors that someone who's about to breach the law considers. One is what's the likelihood of getting caught. Number two is what the penalty is if one does get caught.
If we're thinking about those two categories and about CEPA, do you have any thoughts or advice in those two categories? Are there things within CEPA that could be improved to increase the likelihood that violators are caught? Is there anything you would suggest needs to be done in terms of making sure that we strengthen the penalties for those who are?
