Remittance obligation (3) If, as a result of the error or omission, the number of compliance credits issued for a unit is greater than the number of compliance credits that would have been issued had the correct quantities been used to calculate that number at the time of issuance, the responsible person must remit to the Minister, no later than the December 15 that follows the time limit referred to in subsection (1), a number of compliance credits and, if applicable, Canadian offset credits that is equal to the difference between the number of compliance credits issued and the number that should have been issued.
