COMING INTO FORCE

7. (1) Subject to subsection (2), these Regulations come into force on the day on which they are registered.

(2) Items 100 to 104 and 135 to 143 of Part 5 of the schedule to the Administrative Monetary Penalties and Notices (CSA 2001) Regulations, as enacted by section 6, come into force on the day on which the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 comes into force in Canada, but if these Regulations are registered after that day, those items come into force on the day on which these Regulations are registered.

REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issue and objectives

Upon entry into force on July 1, 2007, the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 (CSA 2001) replaced the former Canada Shipping Act with a streamlined and modern framework for the regulation of marine transportation in Canada.

The Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations (the Regulations), made pursuant to the CSA 2001, previously applied only to certain statutory offences for failure to comply with designated provisions of the Act. These Regulations set out administrative monetary penalties (AMPs) for the contravention of designated provisions of the Act and identify those provisions for which a separate penalty may be imposed for each day that a violation continues.

When the Regulations originally came into force on April 3, 2008, the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement indicated that the Regulations would be amended “to result in a comprehensive list of all the relevant provisions (as that term is defined in section 210 of the CSA 2001) with an individual penalty range for failure to comply with each.”

These amendments to the Regulations designate the contravention of provisions with respect to seven regulations made under the CSA 2001.

In addition, these amendments to the Regulations introduce provisions for how three new notices may be given. These notices will apply to the refusal to issue, the suspension of, the cancellation of, and the refusal to renew Canadian maritime documents (CMDs), as defined in section 2 of the CSA 2001. At present, there is no alternative in the Regulations to how these notices are given. Greater flexibility is required in order to provide timely and effective notifications to responsible parties.

These amendments to the Regulations will further the “effective inspection and enforcement program” objectives of the CSA 2001 by giving greater scope to a principal enforcement tool under the Act, namely “Administrative Penalties” (CSA 2001, Part 11, sections 228 to 243). As well, these amendments create greater flexibility and efficiency in enforcement by giving alternatives to how notices relating to CMDs are given.

Description and rationale

Addition of “regulatory” AMPs

On April 3, 2008, the new Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations designated several provisions of the CSA 2001 for the Administrative Penalties sections (i.e. sections 228 to 243) of the Act. These amendments relabel the table of these provisions as “Part 1” of the Schedule to the Regulations and do not add any new provisions or change any penalty amounts in the table.

These amendments contain an expanded schedule designating certain provisions of seven Regulations for the purpose of AMPs, as follows:

Schedule Part

Designated Regulations

Scope of Typical Provisions Designated for Administrative Monetary Penalties

Range of Penalties ($)

Part 2

Cargo, Fumigation and Tackle Regulations

Provisions related to the loading, unloading and carriage of cargo for marine transportation, as it relates to the safety of vessels and persons on board; safe fumigation practices on Canadian vessels and on foreign vessels in Canadian waters headed to and from Canadian ports; safe methods for using cargo gear used in material handling, shore-based power-operated ramps; and accommodation ladders used to access vessels.

250 to 25,000

Part 3

Collision Regulations

Provisions related to the general conduct specific to the navigational, steering and sailing rules, navigational lights and shapes to be displayed, and the sound and light signals to be used by every Canadian vessel, as well as pleasure craft and foreign vessels in Canadian waters, in order to avoid a collision situation. Also, provisions related to the Convention on the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972 (COLREG Convention), with additional requirements specific to the Canadian context.

250 to 25,000

Part 4

Load Line Regulations

Provisions applicable to circle and diamond load lines, including prohibitions; Authorized Representative’s duties; posting of certificates; and draught and freeboard notices.

250 to 25,000

Part 5

Marine Personnel Regulations

Requirements for qualifications, training and certification of crew members; requirements for the appropriate marine personnel on board vessels for safe and efficient operation; types of training certificates to hold or to obtain, and any requirements for the minimum complement that are applicable to Canadian vessels and to foreign vessels in Canadian waters; and labour working conditions and requirements on board vessels.

250 to 25,000

Part 6

Special-purpose Vessels Regulations

Requirements of vessels and equipment; requirements of guides; wearing of flotation and safety equipment; and keeping of records.

250 to 12,000

Part 7

Vessel Certificates Regulations

Provisions concerning inspections; possession and endorsement of required certificates; issuance and carriage of required documents; and crewing in accordance with required documents.

250 to 25,000

Part 8

Vessel Registration and Tonnage Regulations

Provisions concerning the requirement for an International Tonnage Certificate and calculation of tonnage for the Certificate of Registry.

1,250 to 25,000

The process by which AMPs will be set is unchanged. Within each part, each of the designated provisions of the applicable regulation has been assigned a penalty range. Penalty ranges, rather than fixed amounts, will continue to be used to ensure that the amount imposed is appropriate to the circumstances of each case and that full consideration can be given to any mitigating or aggravating factors, such as the compliance record of the offender and any consequences of the violation.

The penalty ranges were developed first by assessing the seriousness of each violation as low, medium or high, based on the subject matter of the designated provision and the possible consequences of non-compliance with it. Then, within each low, medium and high category, the minimum amount for a first violation, the average amount for a second violation and the maximum amount for a third or subsequent violation were set.

This is done for individuals, vessels and corporations. The penalty ranges set the minimum amount that an individual will pay for a first violation and the maximum amount that a vessel or corporation will pay for a third or subsequent violation. As a matter of general policy, vessels and corporations are subject to higher penalties than are individuals.

Should there be a contravention, the penalty amount will be determined by the Minister of Transport within the penalty range, based on the Department’s policies and guidelines. The maximum penalty permitted by the CSA 2001 is $25,000 per violation. If the amount is not paid, it becomes a debt due to Her Majesty.

Giving notices for CMDs

There is a complex definition of CMDs in section 2 of the CSA 2001, but essentially there are two main types of CMDs — those issued regarding vessels and equipment, commonly referred to as “vessel certificates,” and those issued to mariners concerning their professional qualifications, referred to as “certificates of competency” under the Marine Personnel Regulations.

Sections 16, 16.1 and 20 to 20.5 of the CSA 2001 deal with the refusal to issue CMDs, the suspension or cancellation of CMDs, and the refusal to renew CMDs. These actions require that specific written notices be given to the affected parties. Paragraph 35(1)(f) of the CSA 2001 provides the authority to make regulations respecting the form and manner of giving these notices, or in other words, how these documents may be given to someone.

Section 3 of the existing Regulations provides alternatives to the personal service for the AMPs notices — the notice of violation, the notice of compliance and the notice of default, in order to provide timely and effective notifications to responsible parties in the event that an individual cannot be conveniently found. The provisions for these existing notices are retained.

A new section contains similar provisions for giving notices relating to CMDs — the notice of refusal to issue, the notice of proposed suspension or cancellation, and the notice of suspension, cancellation or refusal to renew.

Benefits and costs

The amendments will benefit the Canadian public by enforcing requirements using administrative processes and proceedings rather than judicial ones. Judicial proceedings often result in considerable cost to the federal government and to the person or vessel involved.

Regarding costs to the regulated marine community, only those individuals, corporations, and vessels subject to an AMP will be affected. The individual, corporation, or vessel may choose to pay the penalty imposed. Alternatively, they have the right to apply to the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada (TATC) to have the AMP reviewed.

The TATC is less formal than a criminal court. The individual, corporation, or vessel may present a case without needing a lawyer. The TATC can hear and decide a case more quickly than a criminal court. Costs to the individual, corporation, or vessel for TATC proceedings would not be more than those in court and in most cases, would be considerably less. As of April 2011, 21 marine cases have been dealt with by the TATC. Costs to the federal government average $3,000 to $6,000 per case, depending on whether the case includes only a review, or both a review and an appeal.

As of January 2011, corporate and non-corporate offenders paid $206,175 in relation to 61 AMPs associated with violations of existing provisions. While there have been more notices of violations issued by regional marine safety inspectors since that time, not all cases have been finalized and outcomes reported.

Consultation

The federal government has widely consulted marine industry stakeholders and federal and provincial agencies involved in marine safety on the AMP system and on the policies and regulations that have brought it into effect.

Consultations on this subject date back to the late 1990s, when the CSA 2001 and its compliance and enforcement provisions were originally developed and subsequently debated in Parliament. Consultations on the previous Regulations began in the fall of 2003 and continued until their entry into force on April 3, 2008. These consultations were conducted by Transport Canada Marine Safety (TCMS) under the umbrella of the Canadian Marine Advisory Council (CMAC), which is Transport Canada’s national consultative body for marine matters. Participants include representatives of individuals and parties that have a recognized interest in boating and shipping concerning safety, recreational matters, navigation, marine pollution and response and marine security. All major marine industry stakeholders are represented at CMAC and stakeholders were consulted at both regional and national CMAC meetings. Feedback was sought through discussion and information papers developed and distributed by TCMS.

Consultations on these amendments were an extension of the earlier consultations. Discussion papers containing the proposed designated provisions of the seven regulations, as well as the proposed penalty ranges, were presented at the November 2009 and April 2010 national CMAC meetings. No comments were received from stakeholders during the development of the amendments.

Prepublication

The proposed Regulations were prepublished in the Canada Gazette, Part Ⅰ, on December 17, 2011, followed by a 30-day public comment period. No comments were received.

Implementation, enforcement and service standards

These amendments will not create requirements or offences themselves; rather, they create a new system for enforcing the legislation. Therefore, no specific compliance and enforcement strategy is necessary.

The imposition of an AMP will continue to be only one of the enforcement tools that will be used by TCMS to deal with contraventions of the CSA 2001 and its regulations. Other tools include warnings (oral and written), assurances of compliance, the use of tickets under the Contraventions Act, prosecution in criminal court, suspending or cancelling CMDs, and vessel detention. Deciding which tool is to be used in any particular instance will depend upon the

  • (a) seriousness of the contravention;

  • (b) circumstances when it was committed (e.g. whether it was committed wilfully or deliberately);

  • (c) seriousness of any consequences;

  • (d) compliance record of the offender; and

  • (e) willingness of the offender to take measures to ensure compliance in the future.

In all cases, the enforcement response by TCMS will be tailored to achieve both compliance and deterrence. AMPs will generally be imposed only where less drastic tools cannot achieve that objective.
