Pretty sure they aren't even issuing fines:

In addition, the CFIA stepped up its unannounced meat weight spot checks, and has so far issued warnings but no fines, to seven retailers for violations.

    “That’s it! I’m not shopping at SuperStore anymore because they artificially inflate their prices! I’ll shop at Safeway… oh wait, they’re doing it too. I’ll shop at… IGA? For twice the price? Hmm… Walmart, for the same price but half the nutritional content?”

    Yeah; until there’s actual penalties that could make the business unviable if they continue to violate the rules, things are unlikely to change.
