expressed to replace the original plan. The company must comply with the
direction:

   (a)  within 180 days after the day on which the notice was given; or

   (b)  if the Minister, by written notice given to the company, allows a
        longer period-within that longer period. When the draft plan becomes a
        final master plan, the original plan ceases to be in force.

(3) A company that intentionally or recklessly contravenes subsection (2) is
guilty of an offence punishable on conviction by a fine not exceeding 250
