Event though certain highway safety codes do provide for the use of ignition locking devices, the fact remains that this would still impact the sentencing under the Criminal Code charges. I understand that when ignition locking devices are ordered installed, judges and sentencing administrators will reduce the length of the sentence provided for in the Criminal Code. This is one area in which, to use Mr. Murphy's words, provincial legislation and the Criminal Code have been harmonized to some degree.
I do have a question, though. If all of these measures are effective, why enact a new Criminal Code offence? I would much prefer to work with the existing provisions of the highway safety codes. Here, you have given us an example of harmonization.
