Actually that is only partially true, one can still try and reduce the fine and also a reduction in demerit points. They just wont allow a total reduction in demerits, only a partial reduction. This is in the scenario if you only decide to go as far as the first appearance option(prosecutor).
If you want to take it further, as in a court appearance, you can still fight to reduce both the fine and all demerits. From my understanding alot of people are now going this route, due to first appearance(speaking with Crown prosecutor) not being as effective as it used to be.
