I don't know how Canadian laws work, but in most of your 50 southern neighbors, you can't "gift" a vehicle and the tags to someone else. You have to sign the title document to them AND they have to apply for new tags.
Otherwise, any infractions related to the vehicle (parking, red-light camera) would be assessed against the owner of record: YOU. Once the government records the transfer, you are off the hook for any future violations.
So, at least down here, the new owner of the car can register it without any impact of the outstanding tickets. However, you are still on the hook for them because they happened before you transferred the title.
Finally, if you don't pay the tickets, they will ripen with age. After they get old enough, you are likely to see a warrant issued for your arrest.
But, that's just how things work in Maryland. Canada may be much more enlightened.
