Disposition versions
159.1. The Board shall develop and make public a general framework for applying monetary administrative penalties, specifying the following elements in particular:
(1) the purposes of the penalties, such as urging a non-compliant person or partnership to rapidly take measures required to remedy the failure to comply and deter its repetition;
(2) the categories of persons designated to impose penalties;
(3) the criteria that must guide designated persons when a failure to comply has been ascertained, including the type of failure, its repetitive nature, the benefits derived from it, the seriousness of the harm or potential harm resulting from it and the measures taken by the person or partnership to remedy the failure;
(4) the circumstances in which priority will be given to penal proceedings; and
(5) the other procedures connected with such penalties, such as the fact that they must be preceded by notification of a notice of non-compliance.
In addition, the general framework must set out the categories of administrative penalties or penal sanctions as defined by the Act or the regulations.
