Base penalty ranges: **$5,000-$50,000 per contravention**, with up to **$25,000 for breach of a licence condition**.\n\n**Source:** <https://www.ontariocanada.com/registry/view.do?postingId=43027&language=en>\n\n**Confidence:** Verified.\n\n**Why AMPs matter:** They are HCRA's administrative penalty track — faster than the Discipline Committee (which requires a full hearing) and applicable to a much broader set of licensee misconduct. The two biggest single AMP outcomes to date:\n- **Adi Development Group:** $60,000 to HCRA (November 2022 LAT settlement) — see [[adi-development-nautique-60k-2-58m-settlement-nov-2022]].\n- **GC King Bond GP Inc.:** $16 million for 76 Code of Ethics breaches — see [[gc-king-bond-16m-amp-code-of-ethics-2024]].
