How do you know they do? You know they are obliged to, but how do you know if they are complying with those obligations?
Do you check the LAME's licence? Do you check the CAR 30 approval? Do you check that all the approved maintenance data is up to date? Do you check that the torque wrenches on the toolboard are in calibration?

As I said, I can enter a contract with "a pilot" to fly me in my aircraft from A to B on Monday. The contract will include a promise by the pilot to the effect everything will be done in accordance with the law. How do I know if the pilot is complying with that clause? I'm just a dumb rich person who owns an aircraft.
