to deter the offender and any other person from committing offences under this Act;
21(b)
to denounce unlawful conduct that damages or creates a risk of damage to the park; and

In addition to the principles and factors that the court is otherwise required to consider, including those set out in sections 718.1 to 718.21 of the Criminal Code, the court shall consider the following principles when sentencing a person who is convicted of an offence under this Act:
21.1(1)(a)
the amount of the fine should be increased to account for every aggravating factor associated with the offence, including the aggravating factors set out in subsection (2); and

by committing the offence or failing to take action to prevent its commission, the offender increased revenue or decreased costs or intended to increase revenue or decrease costs;

the offender committed the offence despite having been warned by the superintendent, a park warden or an enforcement officer of the circumstances that subsequently became the subject of the offence;
21.1(2)(h)
the offender has a history of non-compliance with federal or provincial legislation that relates to environmental or wildlife protection or conservation or the protection of cultural, historical or archaeological resources; and

21.1(2)(i)(ii)
failed to take prompt action to prevent, mitigate or remediate its effects, or
21.1(2)(i)(iii)

The absence of an aggravating factor set out in subsection (2) is not a mitigating factor.

For the purposes of paragraphs (2)(a) to (c), damage includes loss of use value and non-use value.
21.1(5)Reasons
