Don't get too smug, Canadians (Bill C-6)

Found here:

"Budget legislation may capture the headlines, but other government bills currently under examination in Parliament propose reforms and initiatives that will also make an important difference to Canadians. The following is a brief selection:

Consumer Product Safety

Bill C-6 will modernize existing product safety laws to further protect the health and safety of Canadians. These amendments would strengthen the government’s ability to act swiftly when unsafe products are identified, through stricter bans on the manufacture, importation, advertisement and sale of unsafe products, along with increased fines and penalties. Recall powers and the tracking of unsafe products through the supply chain will also be enhanced."

I'm not sure exactly what all that really means. Protecting our health and safety sounds good, depending on what the "unsafe products" are. But here's a different opinion.
