The Regulations designate provisions of the MVSA, the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (MVSR) as well as orders for which an AMP could be issued. The new AMPs regime includes flexible penalty amounts. The MVSA limits the maximum amount payable for a violation to $4,000 for an individual, and $200,000 for a corporation or company. The Regulations contain individual designated provisions with their own maximum amounts, which may be lesser than these maximums depending on the nature of the violation. In order to determine the maximum penalty amounts associated with each designated provision in the Regulations, TC analyzed the legislative provisions, as well as all of their related regulatory requirements, assessing the potential maximum severity of non-compliance with the requirement. Each requirement was then assessed in relation to the seven factors which are taken into account when assessing the severity of any violation, in accordance with TC’s departmental enforcement standards, and the Oversight Guidelines — Motor Vehicle Safety.
