#### 59A Exemption from section 59 in certain circumstances
(1) Where the Registrar is satisfied that it would be impracticable for an Incorporated Aboriginal Association to comply with the requirements of section 59, or that the application of those requirements to an Incorporated Aboriginal Association would be unduly onerous, the Registrar may, by writing, exempt the Association, wholly or in part, from those requirements.
(2) Where the Registrar has, in an instrument issued under subsection (1), exempted an Incorporated Aboriginal Association, in whole or in part, from the requirements of section 59, the Registrar may, in the instrument, require that Association to comply with such requirements as to the keeping of accounts and records, and the preparation and filing of reports and statements prepared from those accounts and records, as the Registrar thinks appropriate in view of the exemption that has been granted, and that Association shall comply with the requirement.
Penalty: $200.
(3) Subsection (2) is an offence of strict liability.
> Note: For strict liability, see section 6.1 of the Criminal Code.
