The correct answer is C because a jail sentence is not one of the Discipline Committee’s penalty powers under the Registered Insurance Brokers Act . The Act states that when the Discipline Committee finds a member guilty of misconduct or incompetence, it may order penalties such as revoking the member’s certificate , suspending it , imposing restrictions or conditions , requiring education or financial reporting , issuing a reprimand and recording it , imposing a fine up to the prescribed maximum , or ordering costs. The Ontario statute excerpt specifically lists revocation, reprimand, and fines among the Committee’s available sanctions.
That means A , B , and D are all realistic discipline outcomes. RIBO’s own Discipline Committee materials repeat these same powers, including revocation, suspension, restrictions, conditions, fines, and reprimands. RIBO supplementary material also explains that if a broker is found guilty of misconduct, the Committee may reprimand, restrict, suspend, fine, or revoke the registration.
A jail sentence may exist only in the separate context of a court-imposed penalty for an offence under the Act , not as a disciplinary order made by the Discipline Committee. So for this question, the penalty that is not a likely Discipline Committee result is C .
