When we were out collecting names on our petition, I made a point of asking the public, “What do you think of our justice system?” I'm embarrassed to say this and I apologize for saying it, but the number one answer that we got from everyone was “Our justice system in Canada is a joke.” I asked, “Well, why do you say that?” They said it was because we don't hold anybody accountable for anything. It's like a revolving door at the courthouse. When you go to a trial, it's not the accused who is on trial anymore; it is the investigation that is on trial, whether the police officer crossed the t's and dotted the i's, whether the machine was calibrated properly, or whatever.
Then we get the sentences that are so low that, I have families telling me how revictimized they are when they go through the justice system, the courts. They come out of the courts and ask, “How is this happening in Canada?” I don't have an answer. I say, “We're fighting, trying to change this.” We're talking about 1,200 to 1,500 people a year who are losing their loved ones to this crime that is 100% preventable. We have had the education and awareness, but everybody knows that if you cause a death, very little is going to happen to you. They're willing to take the chance.
