moved for leave to introduce Bill C-234, an act to amend the Criminal Code (taking samples of bodily substances).
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to bring forward this private member's bill again on the suggestion from Bev and Lloyd Bergeson of Cremona, Alberta who lost their daughter Denise to a dangerous driver.
The bill would amend the Criminal Code and would enable police to take, without delay, any samples required to determine if there is any presence of drugs or alcohol in the urine, breath or blood in the event that there is a death.
I strongly support the bill on behalf of the family. I assume that members across the House would be supportive in taking this kind of action.
