The law says
IRPA s. 134134 No person may be found guilty of an offence or subjected to a penalty for the contravention of a provision of a regulation that incorporates material by reference, unless it is proved that, at the time of the alleged contravention,
- (a)the material was reasonably accessible to the person;
- (b)reasonable steps had been taken to ensure that the material was accessible to persons likely to be affected by the regulation; or
- (c)the material had been published in the Canada Gazette.
