““The canon of strict construction is grounded on policy. Since it is within the power of the lawmakers, the burden lies with them to relieve the situation of all doubts. 3 Sutherland on Statutory Construction, sec. 59.-03, p. 7 (3d ed. 1968-1973). And ‘since the power to declare what conduct is subject to penal sanctions is legislative rather than judicial, it would risk judicial usurpa tion of the legislative function for a court to enforce a penalty where the legislature had not clearly and unequivocally prescribed it.’ Id., p. 8.””
