LIGHTS OUT FOR POT GROW-OPS
Local utilities will have the power to shut off the electricity to homes
suspected of growing marijuana under a proposed new law, Community Safety
Minister Monte Kwinter said yesterday.
The tough new measure will be included in legislation this fall aimed at
ridding Ontario of the "scourge" of these so-called grow-ops.
Kwinter backed away from earlier comments that the proposed law would give
hydro, building and other inspector special powers to enter a home they
suspects was being used to grow marijuana.
