Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today to present petitions of some 1,200 names.
The petitioners pray and request that Parliament proceed immediately with amendments to the Criminal Code that will ensure that the sentence given to anyone convicted of causing death by driving while impaired carries a minimum sentence of seven years and a maximum sentence of 14 years as outlined in private member's Bill C-201, sponsored by the member for Prince George-Bulkley Valley.
I am presenting these on behalf of constituents of my riding and I am very pleased to do so.
