Since the Minister has agreed that education is a very important part of this and if you find after the first offence, you don't get charged, and the second, you don't get charged, how is a young person going to learn if he or she finds that after more than one offence, no charges are laid by the RCMP and the onus is placed on the shopkeeper to do so?
How is this teaching young people that there is a consequence of continuing to break the law?
