Mahsi, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, the Liquor Act. I move that clause 124 of Bill 15 be deleted and the following substituted:
124.(1) Every person who contravenes section 74 is guilty of an offence and liable for summary conviction
(a) if an individual,
(i) for the first offence, to a fine not less than $500 and not exceeding $25,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding one year or to both, and
(ii) for each subsequent offence, to a fine not less than $1,000 and not exceeding $50,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both; and
(b) if a corporation,
(i) for the first offence, to a fine not less than $1,000 and not exceeding $50,000, and
(ii) for each subsequent offence, to a fine not less than $2,500 and not exceeding $100,000.
(2) Not withstanding subsection (1), every person who contravenes paragraph 74(c) by selling or offering to sell liquor to a minor is guilty of an offence and liable on summary conviction
(a) if an individual,
(i) for the first offence, to a fine not less than $1,000 and not exceeding $50,000 or to imprisonment not exceeding one year or to both, and
(ii) for each subsequent offence, to a fine not less than $2,500 and not exceeding $100,000 or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or to both; and
(b) if a corporation,
(i) for the first offence, to a fine not less than $2,500 and not exceeding $100,000, and
(ii) for each subsequent offence, to a fine not less than $5,000 and not exceeding $200,000.
(3) A court that makes a probation order upon the conviction of the accused for a contravention of section 74 shall prescribe, as a condition of that order, that the accused cannot consume or possess liquor, subject to such exceptions as the court may specify.
(4) For the purposes of subparagraphs (1)(a)(ii) and (b)(ii), a conviction for a contravention of paragraph 74(c), referred to in subsection (2) is deemed, for greater certainty, to be a conviction for a prior offence. Mahsi, Madam Chair.
