There was a place in Lethbridge last summer that was shut down for the same thing. In that case (and based on the ad linked above, in this case too), the guy used disposable needles, so there is nothing used that requires sterilization, which is why they didn't have proper sterilization equipment. They just didn't keep the proper records to show the AHS inspectors, which is why the warning was issued.

Here's the story on that one: http://globalnews.ca/news/770156/the...-shop-is-safe/

I suspect this situation will likely turn out the same. As long as he was using the disposable needles correctly, there's likely no chance anyone was infected by a dirty needle, but because it failed the inspection, they have to issue the warning.
