The feds MUST increase the fines. My personal choice would be $1M per low-weight item.

Maybe that'll clear up this issue.

Also, put liability on executives and even potentially board members themselves. Treat it like financial fraud. Set up a structure to proactively investigate and pursue personal civil and criminal liability of officers and directors or other management that knowingly or negligently engaged in what is essentially defrauding the public. No reason an executive they overseas a scheme to defraud the public shouldn't end up sitting in jail.

Treat it like financial fraud.

Because it is.

Or just nationalize these stores and turn them into crown corps.

Sure, once we somehow figure out how not to have corrupt governments.

The EU has some mechanism so that it is % of revenue for charges like these. Canada needs to put something like that in.

Despite the increased enforcement, the CFIA has issued only warnings to offenders. The B.C. Real Canadian Superstore, which sold underweight strip loin, got a warning — no fine — even though the chain has faced CFIA scrutiny before.

They aren't even being fined.

There were baker's dozen for a reason ... if they faced fines appropriate fines then they would definitely make sure we got at least what we paid for.

Replace the underweight meat with Galen Weston's flesh.
