In case the context is cut off on your app/client:

A pair of Calgary law professors say the food safety laws already on the books need to be better enforced, without being hamstrung by political desires to cut ‘red tape.’

That’s exactly the context I was hoping for. We have the regulations on the books, we just need to actually enforce them.

Indeed. An easy and straightforward method of regulatory capture is to convince politicians that the regulations just don’t need to be enforced. “The rules are fair! We totally agree to them! Now, just let us police ourself, which you know we’ll do a good job of because we agreed with your rules!”
