Well, we've seen too many times as well that it's not a first offence. Police have told us that for every person they stop who is impaired, 100 more get away, and we continue to see the stats rise. We have had repeat offenders who have had three and four and five impaired driving charges against them, but who have been released on bail until they have finally killed someone. Even then, we've seen sentences of a $1,500 fine or a $2,000 fine.
We just had two cases here in B.C. last week, and the people who were convicted of killing someone received house arrest. That's no deterrent to drinking and driving. I'm sorry, but it's not. Those families were left devastated, knowing that the individuals who killed their family members were back home, continuing on with life. They may not be going outside, but they are not spending any time whatsoever in jail.
