Each charge could carry a fine ranging from $1,000 to $25,000 or up to 12 months in jail.

A lawyer says charges of failure to file do not result in a criminal record, and in most cases the Crown will settle for a lesser charge, amalgamating some of the charges if the accused enters a guilty plea.

LeClair is scheduled to appear in provincial court on May 15.
