This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.
If you do not have a good reason, you will be in trouble if you do not give information when the Minister or an enforcement officer asks you to under section 104. You must give this information when they ask for it. If you do not, you might have to pay a fine of up to $20,000 if you are found guilty. You could be fined if you let someone else break this rule. The Minister or an enforcement officer can ask you for information, and you must provide it if they do.
