What is the penalty for towing a skier without another responsible person onboard keeping watch?

  1. A warning

  2. A small fine

  3. An offence punishable on summary conviction

  4. Mandatory boating safety classes

The correct answer is: An offence punishable on summary conviction

Towing a skier without another responsible person onboard keeping watch is a dangerous and reckless act, which is why it is considered a serious offense. As such, the penalty for this offense is an offense punishable on summary conviction. This means that the offender can be fined and may face jail time, depending on the severity of the offense. The other options are incorrect because a warning or a small fine may not be enough to deter someone from committing such a dangerous offense. Similarly, mandatory boating safety classes may be required for other offenses, but may not be sufficient for this specific offense.
