Application of 239(1(d) & 162(7)(b) to 159(2) & (3)
Further to our telephone conversation of October 18, 1991, withEr. A. Prosia, we are forwarding for your consideration and reply the August 15, 199], letter from the law firm of 24(1) concerning the possible application of the above noted penalty provisions to situations where an individual fails to copy with the requirements of 159(2) and thus becomes liable under 159(3).
We examined our research files and found that the possibility of applying these penalty provisions in 159(2) & (3) situations had never been addressed by this Directorate. During our conversation with Mr. Prosia, he indicated that to the best of his knowledge, the above noted penalty provisions are not given consideration in connection with the collection procedures instituted as a result of the application of 159(3).
Could you please advise 19(1) of your views on this matter.
Should you require our views on the technical aspects of this enquiry please contact the writer.
We telephoned 19(1) to advise him of the transfer of his letter to your Division.
