WSIB spokesperson Christine Arnott said the fine imposed is a “drop in the bucket for Amazon” and would not be an effective deterrent.

“We need all companies – especially large ones like Amazon – to protect their employees by properly reporting claims. And if they don’t, they need to know they will be penalized harshly,” she said.

In his October, 2023 decision, Justice of the Peace Mangesh Duggal said he landed on a $30,000 fine for the late-reporting violation because Amazon had improved its internal communication systems in the wake of the case and had been strained by COVID testing and mitigation at the time of the incident. The ruling also said Amazon was typically diligent in its accident reporting procedures.

The maximum penalty for a late-reporting offence is $500,000.

The Carter Center (cited by that BBC piece) is funded by various western governments including the US, as well as CIA-affiliated regime-change orgs like the National Endowment for Democracy. They are not a neutral party.

The "pro-Kremlin" smear is similarly questionable as it is promoted by the same groups.

Are there any problems with this particular story? I found it to be mostly collating current thought about BCI and its applications.

This article is literally quoting the official press release of the committee's chairman:
