Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I wish to present the attached petitions I have in my hand. These people petition the government to take notice of an issue they feel is very important. These constituents come from the riding of Huron-Bruce for the most part. They embrace the
philosophy of zero tolerance toward individuals who drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs.
The petitioners therefore pray and call on Parliament to proceed immediately with amendments to the Criminal Code that will ensure that sentences given to anyone convicted of driving while impaired or causing injury or death reflects both the severity of the crime and zero tolerance by Canada toward this crime.
