Footnote *

A 30-day delay in the escalation of penalty levels from the first to the second will apply to this contravention. Should a second penalty with the same contravention be issued against the same client, the system will not escalate the penalty level to level two unless 30 days have transpired from when the first Notice of Penalty Assessment (NPA) was issued or the infraction occurred. The non-escalation rule applies from the first level to the second level only; it does not apply from the second to the third level.

Guidelines

"When an international aircraft is on the ground the carrier shall ensure that bar-boxes on board are sealed" (subsection 5(1) of the Ships Stores Regulations).

Applied against the carrier.

Non-compliance is discovered as a result of aircraft examination.

Exception: Seals on bar-boxes on an international aircraft may be broken when passengers begin boarding and, provided that no domestic passengers are carried, may remain unsealed where the aircraft is progressively boarded at more than one airport in Canada.

Apply a penalty per bar-box.
