Canada Transportation Act

Version of section 179 from 2019-07-11 to 2023-06-21:


Marginal note:Violations

  •  (1) Every person who contravenes a provision, requirement or condition designated under section 177 commits a violation and is liable to a penalty fixed under that section or, in the case of a contravention referred to in subsection 177(3), either a penalty fixed under that subsection or a warning under subparagraph 180(b)(i).

  • (1.1) [Repealed, 2014, c. 8, s. 11]

  • Marginal note:How contraventions may be proceeded with

    (2) Where any act or omission can be proceeded with as a violation or as an offence, proceedings may be commenced in respect of that act or omission as a violation or as an offence, but proceeding with it as a violation precludes proceeding with it as an offence, and proceeding with it as an offence precludes proceeding with it as a violation.

  • Marginal note:Nature of violation

    (3) For greater certainty, a violation is not an offence and, accordingly, section 126 of the Criminal Code does not apply.
