Why riders Cannot be fined for fare evasion on Toronto's up train?

The Toronto Star reports that due to a legal loophole Metrolinx can't fine anyone who doesn't pay to ride the UP Express, like it does on GO Transit. According to the report, UP isn't covered by Metrolinx regulations, which means the transit agency has no authority to fine riders who break the rules.
