208.5. Penal proceedings for an offence under this Act or the regulations are prescribed two years from the date on which the offence was committed.
Despite the first paragraph, penal proceedings for an offence under section 78.1 or 78.2 are prescribed one year from the date on which the prosecutor became aware that the offence had been committed. However, no proceedings may be instituted if more than five years have elapsed from the date the offence was committed.
