SGI ANNOUNCES MEASURES TO ADDRESS THEFT AND VANDALISM

Released on May 5, 1998

Changes to the Automobile Accident Insurance Act (AAIA) will enable

SGI to suspend the driver's licences of automobile thieves and vandals

Deputy Premier and Crown Investments Corporation Minister Dwain

Lingenfelter announced today.



"These changes are being implemented in response to concerns about

vehicle theft and damage raised during the recent public review of

Auto Fund rates," Lingenfelter said. "This is a real concern for

Saskatchewan motorists, particularly in urban areas."



Justice Minister John Nilson said these changes to the Automobile

Accident Insurance Act complement the government's recently announced

investment of more than $1.1 million over two years to crack down on

chronic youth offenders.



"More than 90 per cent of car thefts and acts of vandalism are

committed by a very small number of repeat and chronic young

offenders," Nilson said. "Licence suspensions, or withholding the

issue of a driver's licence until restitution is made strengthens this

government's commitment to continue to hold young offenders

accountable for their crimes."



The threat of a driver's licence suspension may act as a deterrent for

potential thieves and vandals.



"Licence suspensions should send a strong message about the

serious consequences of car theft and vandalism," Lingenfelter

added. "To many of the young offenders who are typically

involved in these acts, a driver's licence is very important."
