Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I hardly know where to start, but thank you very much to all the witnesses for being here.
We all want to see the tragedies caused by impaired driving ended, but personally I have quite a problem with this bill, for all the reasons that all of you have mentioned here today.
In the short time that I have, let me say that I've already been contacted by a member of one of my native reserves who was concerned should an officer who maybe has a dislike target somebody on the reserve or that kind of thing, and I think you've pointed that out here.
Mr. Spratt, could you explain briefly what a compelled statement means? I'm not a lawyer, and I wasn't aware of that term.
Secondly, I'll let the two ladies here comment, if they could, on impairment by alcohol, drugs, prescription drugs, texting, or whatever. Even driving down the road texting impairs your ability to drive, and in terms of treating one form of impairment differently from the others, is that a legal issue out there?
I'll leave it at that.
