Strengthening property
rights
To defend the rights of
law-abiding property own-
ers, the government will in-
troduce changes to the Oc-
cupiers’ Liability Act. These
changes would eliminate
the liability of law-abiding
property owners who are
protecting their property
against trespasses who are,
or who are believed to be, in
the commission of a criminal
act. This provision will be ret-
roactive to Jan. 1, 2018.
To strengthen trespass laws
and further defend proper-
ty rights, planned legislation
includes a proposed five-fold
increase to the maximum
fines for trespassing offences,
with fines of up to $10,000 for
a first violation and $25,000
for subsequent offences, as
well as possible prison time
of up to six months. Corpora-
tions that help or direct tres-
passers would face fines up
to $200,000. In addition to
these increases, a proposed
change would increase the
maximum amount a court

Cracking down on metal theft Government has pro- claimed the Scrap Metal Dealers and Recyclers Iden- tification Act to deter metal theft by making it more diffi- cult for criminals to monetize stolen material by selling it for scrap. Metal theft is a significant public safety risk. Thieves terrify property owners by trespassing and stealing ma- terials such as copper wire and industrial batteries and frequently damage and inter- fere with critical systems like electrical lines, telecommu- nications cables and trans- portation infrastructure. Criminals often steal metal from property owners and critical infrastructure in iso- lated areas to avoid detec- tion. This has also made rural Albertans a target of tres- passers and thieves looking for metal. The Scrap Metal Dealers and Recyclers Identification Act was passed in 2012, but never proclaimed. An Order in Council signed Nov. 5 puts the legislation into effect im- mediately. Regulations outlining re- quirements on dealers and recyclers to obtain proof of identification from sellers, record and retain details of transactions and share infor- mation with law enforcement will be in place by spring 2020. There is also an imme- diate requirement for scrap
