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:

• Adi Development Group: $60,000 to HCRA (November 2022 LAT settlement) — see Adi Development / Nautique (Burlington) — first major HCRA Notice of Proposal; November 2022 LAT settlement: $60K AMP + $2,585,674.58 to 141 purchasers.
• GC King Bond GP Inc.: $16 million for 76 Code of Ethics breaches — see GC King Bond GP Inc. — $16M in AMPs for 76 Code of Ethics breaches (July 2024); $1.1M reimbursed; receivership June 2025. This is the largest AMP outcome in HCRA history.

Unlicensed-building AMPs are common: see Jacob Hiebert (Tillsonburg) $165K+ AMP and Destination Estates Ltd. (Guelph) $5,978 AMP — unlicensed-builder enforcement pattern.
