The Governor in Council may make regulations establishing an administrative monetary penalties scheme for the purpose of promoting compliance with subsections 94(4) and (6), including regulations designating as a violation the contravention of subsection 94(4) or (6); respecting the administrative monetary penalties that may be imposed for a violation, including in relation to the amount, or range of amounts, of the administrative monetary penalties that may be imposed on employers or classes of employers, the factors to be taken into account in imposing an administrative monetary penalty, the payment of administrative monetary penalties that have been imposed, and the recovery, as a debt, of unpaid administrative monetary penalties; respecting the persons or classes of persons who are considered a party to the violation and the amount, or range of amounts, of the administrative monetary penalties for which they are liable; respecting what constitutes sufficient proof that a violation was committed; respecting the powers, duties and functions of the Board and of any person or class of persons who may exercise powers or perform duties or functions with respect to the scheme, including the designation of such persons or classes of persons by the Board; respecting the proceedings in respect of a violation, including in relation to commencing the proceedings, the defences that may be available in respect of a violation, and the circumstances in which the proceedings may be brought to an end; and respecting reviews or appeals of any orders or decisions in the proceedings. If an act or omission may be proceeded with as a violation or as an offence, proceeding with it in one manner precludes proceeding with it in the other.
