Mr. Speaker, it is my duty to present a petition from 60 citizens in my riding, mainly from the villages of O'Leary, Bloomfield, Ellerslie and Alberton.
These 60 petitioners are very concerned with the inadequacies of the sentencing practices concerning individuals convicted of impaired driving charges. They are also concerned that Canada must embrace a philosophy of zero tolerance toward individuals who drive while impaired by alcohol or drugs.
These petitioners would like that very serious consideration be given to the bill that is coming up shortly for a vote.
