Prosecutions are undertaken for violations of specific sections of the Act. The penalty provisions provide for fines up to $50,000.00 for first offences and $100,000.00 for subsequent offences in summary conviction proceedings, and up to two years imprisonment for indictable offences.
The Act also contains some special provisions with respect to orders that may be made by the convicting Court. The orders may be made in addition to any other penalty imposed and they cover such matters as prohibiting a person from engaging in an activity regulated by the Act, requiring a person to compensate others, repair damage to the environment, or, contribute to research in respect of the transportation of dangerous goods.
