Proposal for the Output-Based Pricing System Regulations: chapter 21

There are penalties set out in the Act for offences. Section 232 of the GGPPA sets out certain offences that attract a higher range of penalties than other offences. Subsection 246(1) of that Act authorizes the Governor-in-Council to, by regulations, designate provisions of regulations that, if contravened, attract that same range of penalties. The regulations will set out which provisions of the regulations that, if contravened, will attract that higher range.
