2019-10-10

181. In determining the penalty, the judge may take into account aggravating factors such as

(1)  the seriousness of the harm or the risk of harm to human safety;

(2)  the intentional, negligent or reckless nature of the offence;

(3)  the foreseeable character of the offence or the failure to follow recommendations or warnings to prevent it;

(4)  the offender’s attempts to cover up the offence or failure to try to mitigate its consequences;

(5)  the increase in revenues or decrease in expenses that the offender intended to obtain by committing the offence or by omitting to take measures to prevent it; and

(6)  the offender’s failure to take reasonable measures to prevent the commission of the offence or mitigate its consequences despite the offender’s ability to do so.

A judge who, despite the presence of an aggravating factor, decides to impose the minimum fine must give reasons for the decision.
