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 fines needs to be at least equal to the profits, and preferably a more. Anything less and it's a "cost of doing business"

ETA jail time for company officers would work, too, but it's hard to prove, especially when corporations are designed around the idea of distributed malfeasance.

The jail time would be hard if you were arbitrarily picking officers or trying to prove what each one did or didn't do, but I'm sure a law could be written laying out a chain of command/criminal responsibility. And instead of increasing a single scapegoats sentence for multiple offences it could be distributed among the c suite / board.
