Mr. Gord Mackintosh (St. Johns): Madam Speaker, I move, seconded by the member for Osborne (Ms. McGifford), that leave be given to introduce Bill 204, The Graffiti Control and Consequential Amendments Act; Loi sur la lutte contre les graffitis et modifications corrélatives, and that the same be now received and read a first time.
Motion presented.
Mr. Mackintosh: This is deterrent legislation to deal with the growing assault on our neighbourhoods and properties of graffiti by providing such consequences for offenders as graffiti removal and cover-up, a minimum fine, restitution, a minimum number of hours of community service, as well as suspension of drivers licences and parental responsibility where restitution has not been made.
Motion agreed to.
