Mr. Speaker, last night during debate on my private member's Bill C-201 which deals with impaired driving causing death, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Justice cited in his remarks a letter from a member of MADD Canada which stated six reasons not to support my bill.
Jim Wideman, the executive director of MADD Canada wrote me this morning to set the record straight. He wrote:
On behalf of the board of directors of MADD Canada, I would like to reaffirm our support of the private member's Bill C-201. I am aware that other correspondence has been sent to Mr. Rock's office. Let me reiterate that the National Board of MADD Canada, our chapters and members wholeheartedly support Bill C-201.
Once again I would like to support MADD Canada, all its chapters and members who are in support of my bill. I urge members of this House to support it as well.
