Thank you, Madam Speaker and colleagues. Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Baffin Central, that Bill 4, An Act to Amend the Liquor Act, be read for the second time. Madam Speaker, in general, this bill will widen the scope of the local option system for liquor control set out in the Liquor Act. It will permit more effective enforcement of several provisions of the act. The bill will also give the Liquor Licensing Board more control over its proceedings. More specifically, this bill will allow a community in which a brew pub licence, cocktail licence or dining room licence is enforced to hold a plebiscite to determine whether a liquor restriction or prohibition should be established in the community that would not apply to the sale of liquor for consumption in licences premises. This bill will also enable the Minister, at the request of a community, to prohibit, by order, the consumption, possession, purchase, sale or transportation of liquor in a community in which a special occasion is to occur. It will also make the sale or supply of liquor to persons under the age of 19 years, a strict liability offence and permit the Liquor Licensing Board to make orders governing its proceedings including orders for cost.
