If fighting a ticket from before sept 1st, but the court date is after sept 1st... If you lose, could you be faced with the new penalty or will it still be the same as the day you were handed a ticket?

hello, just a quick question. Is this considered a minor offence or major? I have tried to google and can only find articles about the fine increase and they say "distracted driving" is a minor offence. Clarification would be helpful. Thank you, and I apologize if this is the wrong section...
