242: Failure to provide statement

You could also call this:

“You must give information when asked, or you could get in trouble”

If you need to give any statement, document, or other information as mentioned in section 241, you must do so. If you don’t give this information on purpose, you are breaking the law. You could be punished as outlined in section 315 if you are found guilty.

However, this rule doesn’t apply if you need to give the information to the Commissioner when they are acting for the Corporation.
