Maybe. But is it really within the government's purview to ensure that?

I'd hate to rain on your parade, but the phrase "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is taken from the United States' Declaration of Independence, which has no legal weight or bearing on how business is conducted in the country. That'd be the United States Constitution.
