Mr. Speaker, just before I start I would like to mention that the Liberal member spoke about all these laws on the books and how they were being given out as sentences and penalties. The whole reason we are here today is because these things are not happening. There are thousands of cases where they are not receiving penalties and not even being incarcerated. It is a very serious matter and I really hate hearing someone misquote the facts when so many people have been hurt.
Regarding the Bloc member who just spoke, her disparaging comments about the Reform were not too pleasant to listen to, but apart from that was her charge on the cost of incarceration. What about the cost to all of the people who are hurt by impaired drivers? Let us get realistic here. I am really tired of the misconceptions uttered by members in this House who should really be committed to honesty at all times.
Bill C-201 deals with amending the Criminal Code to impose a seven year minimum sentence for those convicted of impaired driving causing death.
