Narrative:
Before pushback, the captain briefed me on the departure and special climb procedures in canada. (I.e., being cleared above 10000 ft you can accelerate to normal climb speed.) we were given the toronto 7 for our clearance. During climb out we were given a heading, and an altitude clearance above 10000 ft. We started to accelerate above 250 KTS to our normal climb speed (310 KTS). I looked down again at the toronto 7 SID again and saw it also had a 250 KT restr. The captain increased the climb rate to reduce the speed. At this pint we were passing through 10000 ft about 280 KTS, plus or minus. We resumed acceleration without hearing any remarks from yyz departure. We were then handed off to ZOB. We were both surprised to see that on our 10-T page no mention of the toronto 7 speed restr -- only the toronto 6. On the toronto 6 SID, the 250 KT restr is very obscured. I feel that this could have been avoided if the captain and I were less complacent. We saw what we wanted to see north our 10-T page (that is, accelerating to climb speed below 10000 ft) without examining any further to see what the restrs might apply on the SID. I also feel that the climb speed information is conflictory. One place we see that we can climb at normal climb speed, but another place says we can't. Also that there was no mention of the toronto 7 on the 10-T page. This is what gave us the impression we could climb fast. After accepting that, we didn't search anymore for other restrs. There shouldn't be different information in different places. All rules concerning the SID should be on the SID, and not in 2 places.

Title: AN ACR MLG PLTED BY AN AMERICAN PLT VIOLATED THE SPD RESTR BELOW 10000 FT AT TORONTO.
Narrative: BEFORE PUSHBACK, THE CAPT BRIEFED ME ON THE DEP AND SPECIAL CLB PROCS IN CANADA. (I.E., BEING CLRED ABOVE 10000 FT YOU CAN ACCELERATE TO NORMAL CLB SPD.) WE WERE GIVEN THE TORONTO 7 FOR OUR CLRNC. DURING CLBOUT WE WERE GIVEN A HDG, AND AN ALT CLRNC ABOVE 10000 FT. WE STARTED TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 250 KTS TO OUR NORMAL CLB SPD (310 KTS). I LOOKED DOWN AGAIN AT THE TORONTO 7 SID AGAIN AND SAW IT ALSO HAD A 250 KT RESTR. THE CAPT INCREASED THE CLB RATE TO REDUCE THE SPD. AT THIS PINT WE WERE PASSING THROUGH 10000 FT ABOUT 280 KTS, PLUS OR MINUS. WE RESUMED ACCELERATION WITHOUT HEARING ANY REMARKS FROM YYZ DEP. WE WERE THEN HANDED OFF TO ZOB. WE WERE BOTH SURPRISED TO SEE THAT ON OUR 10-T PAGE NO MENTION OF THE TORONTO 7 SPD RESTR -- ONLY THE TORONTO 6. ON THE TORONTO 6 SID, THE 250 KT RESTR IS VERY OBSCURED. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE CAPT AND I WERE LESS COMPLACENT. WE SAW WHAT WE WANTED TO SEE N OUR 10-T PAGE (THAT IS, ACCELERATING TO CLB SPD BELOW 10000 FT) WITHOUT EXAMINING ANY FURTHER TO SEE WHAT THE RESTRS MIGHT APPLY ON THE SID. I ALSO FEEL THAT THE CLB SPD INFO IS CONFLICTORY. ONE PLACE WE SEE THAT WE CAN CLB AT NORMAL CLB SPD, BUT ANOTHER PLACE SAYS WE CAN'T. ALSO THAT THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE TORONTO 7 ON THE 10-T PAGE. THIS IS WHAT GAVE US THE IMPRESSION WE COULD CLB FAST. AFTER ACCEPTING THAT, WE DIDN'T SEARCH ANYMORE FOR OTHER RESTRS. THERE SHOULDN'T BE DIFFERENT INFO IN DIFFERENT PLACES. ALL RULES CONCERNING THE SID SHOULD BE ON THE SID, AND NOT IN 2 PLACES.
