Consultation has concluded
Have Your Say
The proposed amendments include:
- making 20 offences created under the HoSR ticketable offences by listing them in the proposed SCPR amendment; and,
- raising fine amounts and administrative fees for offences regarding carriers, shippers, consigners, and drivers in the HoSR so they align with other jurisdictions.
While these amendments will increase the number of ticketable offences in the NWT, it is not expected that these changes will impact government revenue. The increase in fines is expected to act as a more effective deterrent and increase compliance with the requirements. The amendments help to enhance road safety and align the NWT with other jurisdictions in Canada that have recently amended regulations concerning conviction procedures for the misuse of ELDs.
NWT residents had the opportunity to provide their feedback on the proposed amendments to the SCPR until April 8, 2024.
