moved for leave to introduce Bill C-251, an act to amend the Criminal Code.
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to be able to introduce this private member's bill. The concept for it began when Craig Powell, Amber Keuben, Brandy Keuben and Stephanie Smith were all instantly killed by a drunk driver on June 23, 1996, near Morley, Alberta, as they returned from a camping trip.
The drunk driver in this case was Christopher Goodstoney and he was charged with four counts of criminal negligence causing death and one count of criminal negligence causing injury. At his sentencing hearing last April the judge referred to section 718.2(2) of the Criminal Code.
