The Consolidated Fee is not collected on which offenses?

• A. Parking and pedestrian offenses
• B. Parking offenses only
• C. Pedestrian offenses only
• D. All offenses

Answer: (A)

The key idea is understanding when the Consolidated Fee applies. This fee is a cost-recovery charge tied to offenses that go through the standard court or provincial process. Some offenses, however, are handled locally, without entering that process, so the fee isn’t added.

Parking offenses and pedestrian offenses fall into that local-handling category. Parking tickets are issued and resolved by municipalities, and pedestrian violations (often municipal by-law offenses) are usually resolved without moving through the provincial court system. Because they don’t go through the court process that the Consolidated Fee is designed to fund, the fee isn’t collected for either type.

That’s why the correct statement is that the Consolidated Fee is not collected on both parking and pedestrian offenses. The other options would incorrectly suggest it’s not excluded for one category only or for all offenses.
