Dick Harris Canadian Alliance Prince George—Bulkley Valley, BC
Mr. Speaker, on June 29, in the second session of the 36th parliament, the House passed Bill C-18, which provides for a sentence of life imprisonment for the crime of impaired driving causing death where aggravating factors are present.
Yet today, over seven months later, the bill has still not been put into force by the Liberal government.
Bill C-18 is a very important step in the fight against impaired driving.
I speak not only for the victims of this senseless crime but for all Canadians in demanding that the Minister of Justice get this bill into law to help deter impaired driving, to ensure that the penalty fits the crime where death is a result, and to help save the lives of thousands of innocent Canadians.
