You could also call this:

"Not giving information to the Arms Regulator when you should can get you in trouble"

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you do not give information to the Arms Regulator when you are supposed to, you might get in trouble. You could be fined up to $10,000 if you do not have a good reason for not giving the information as required by section 349. You must follow the rules. If you deliberately do not give the information or give false information, you could be in bigger trouble. You might go to prison for up to 2 years or be fined up to $20,000. This happens if you break the rules on purpose, or if you give information you know is wrong, as required by section 349.
