This doesn't just pertain to the importer, it has to do with Health Canada searching private businesses, and private dwellings!

I don't get it.

Yes, a Health Canada inspector still needs to obtain a warrant, but that's not the issue. The issue is, traditionally under the criminal code, the court will only issue a warrant to enter your home if there is a "substantial likelihood that they are going to find evidence of a crime." Bill C-6 allows warrants to be issued to search private homes without evidence of criminal wrong doing. If they think that there is a non-compliant consumer product (such as light bulb) in your house, in they can go!!
