Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, it is my pleasure to present the following petition which has 449 signatures. I present it on behalf of the petitioners and on behalf of a very concerned constituent, Mrs. Lori Smith.
The petitioners pray and request that Parliament proceed immediately with amendments to the Criminal Code that ensure the sentence given to anyone convicted of driving while impaired or causing injury or death while impaired reflects both the severity of the crime and zero tolerance toward the crime.
This is certainly a commitment and concern of my constituents they would like the Government of Canada to meet.
