L’article 34 proposé dispose que, dans les poursuites pour infraction à la LTELI, il suffit, pour établir la responsabilité pénale de l’accusé, d’établir que l’infraction a été commise par son employé ou son mandataire dans le cadre de son emploi ou de son mandat, que celui-ci ait ou non été identifié ou poursuivi.
Proposed section 34 of the Act provides that, in any prosecution for an offence under the Act, it is sufficient proof of the offence to establish that it was committed by the accused’s employee acting within the scope of his or her employment or the accused’s agent (or mandatary) acting within the scope of his or her authority, whether or not the employee or agent is identified or has been prosecuted for the offence, unless the accused establishes that the accused exercised due diligence to prevent the commission of the offence.
