With the parliamentary clock ticking down and the government yet to pass their ‘affordable housing and groceries’ bill—the first piece of federal legislation tabled in the fall sitting—the NDP have agreed to help the Liberals advance Bill C-56 in exchange for a series of amendments inspired by a similar bill from Leader Jagmeet Singh, CTV News has learned.
The moment corporations outgrew fines was the moment capitalism seriously turned sideways. Not that there weren’t always serious issues, but it’s insane that we allow these entities to exist entirely outside of meaningful legal prosecution.
I’d prefer to see fines linked to profits AND length of time they were stealing, ie: $20 mil x 44 months of theft = $968 million fine
That will get their immediate attention.
