    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I have no problem with this amendment. It is a good one. I wish the Chair could just clarify. He says that a person who contravenes this section commits an offence and shall, in addition to cancellation of the license, be liable, on conviction, to a penalty prescribed in this Act. I want to stop there. Why is he not using the word “fine”? A fine is not a penalty and a penalty is not a fine. I am not a lawyer, but traditionally, we have used the word “fine” so that we are consistent in the way we make Bills. I would like to know from the Chair why he is not using the word “fine” and using the word “penalty” instead. The word “penalty” could as well just be withdrawal of a licence or something The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
