Wrong section Trout.
The section you quote is for suspended drivers only. The wording gets a little funky as it tries to cover a bunch of different "suspensions"- unauthorzied, disqualified, canceled.
The correct section from the Traffic Safety Act is:
Operator’s licences
51 Except as otherwise permitted under this Act, a person shall not do any of the following:
(a) drive a motor vehicle on a highway unless that person is the holder of a subsisting operator’s licence;
IIRC, the fine is $230.
