the term you are looking for is "negligent discharge" and the standard fine 
is $75, i believe.

True a lot of soldier from the airborne had a go at the units selection when 
the
CAR was disbanded. When you say that the unit is just made up of ex-airborne
remember this, the CAR was some of the best the army had. In fact I'm sure
(although not speaking from experience) the best you could find in any 
military
in the western world. They weren't trained for counter-terrorism, but as the
professionals they were, I'm sure they learned well.
The JTF2 is most likely more compariable to the U.S. Army SFOD, Special 
Forces
Operational Detatchement Delta, or the "Delta Force." Both modeld after the
British SAS, both began as units to deal with terrorist threats, but Delta 
and
I'm sure the JTF2 has expanded into a special forces kind of role. Remeber 
the
laser target rumors last year during the Kosovo crisis? The CBC spent two 
days
or so covering the JTF2's involvement.
The JTF2 Special Operations Assualters Course is supposted to be one of the
hardest courses to pass in the international CT/SF community. The unit, I'm 
sure
cross-trains with allied units and takes part in their selection courses as 
do
allies take part in the SOA. That should  include Navy SEALS.
But here is an interesting note: A while back 9 soldiers on the JTF2 SOA 
course
let a few rounds go off after they had finished training. I guess that they
forgot to safety their weapons or something. They were charged for "improper
discharge of weapon" (or whatever it's called) and fined $250 (I believe 
that's
the standard fine). Appearently the reaction from some militia personal who 
had
read it was that in the CF there is no such thing as "accidently discharging
your weapon."
