Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Going on to section 12.(2), there is an offence and a punishment, where if a person does not register a child, he or she is guilty of an offence and has to pay a $100 fine per child, I take it.
We are told that anybody can lay this charge, and that's kind of ambiguous. Maybe that's one of the reasons they have section 1 here so as to try to start collecting money from parents who don't register their children. Later in this act, you talk about a hefty fine of about $500 for a child who doesn't go to school. So it's a way of identifying who should be in school and, if a person is out of school, the district will collect money from them.
My question is, if a conviction with a fine of $100 can be brought down upon a person for not registering his or her child, what is the next step? What do you do? Is there a process for this person to appeal that? I am thinking about a community where there's no employment. It could be someone who has very limited funds. If a person cannot pay the $100, what happens then? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
