Your Reasons for Requesting a Review

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

You do not have to explain why you are asking for a review. It is up to the Agency or Minister to prove that:

  • The right person is named in the Notice of Violation
  • The person named in the Notice violated the law as alleged; and that
  • The administrative monetary penalty, if any, was assessed in accordance with the Regulations.

That said, you will have the opportunity to submit your arguments and supporting documents before your case is heard by a Tribunal Member.

As you prepare your case, it may be helpful to review the Defences you can use and cannot use.

If you still wish to provide reasons now, please use the text box below.
