Well you can ask the prosecution for their evidence which will include the officers notes, anything he said, anything you said....

You can get this, by calling the Court and asking for the prosecutions evidence .. if I remember you fax in a form then they send you a copy of everything in the mail...

On the trial date, you will meet before with the prosecutor ... they are usually pricks that don't care what you did just want you in and out as quick as possible so that they can go back to their office to watch kiddie porn..

so you can use this to your advantage by telling them you do not have the money to pay for it right now or some sympathetic excuse and get them to lower the fine....

Since the offense is not like some 17 year old driving around with no license plates you can challenge the officer and say that you said 6 weeks not 6 months.. or say that within that 6 months you commuted to Ontario several times a month but still live with your friend in Quebec..

My 2 cents
